Most multimodal learning methods improve how heterogeneous representations are aligned and fused, while post-fusion enhancement remains less explored. We propose Parallel Quantum Feature Augmentation (PQFA), a hybrid quantum-classical framework that applies multiple shallow variational quantum circuits to fused multimodal features.

arXiv:2604. 23931v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Variational quantum circuits (VQCs) are a leading approach to quantum machine learning on near-term devices, yet it remains unclear which circuit architecture yields the best accuracy-parameter trade-off on classical tabular data.

arXiv:2504. 05336v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: A recurring weakness in quantum machine learning (QML) is that reported ``quantum advantages'' are seldom tested against a \emph{capacity-matched} classical control, leaving it unclear whether a gain comes from the quantum substrate or from the architectural change that accompanies it.

QiT is a Quantum‑Inspired Transformer designed for visual recognition tasks. It replaces quantum neural network concepts with scalable classical operations: angle‑inspired encoding of image tokens, self‑attention over periodic features approximating quantum fidelity kernels, and gated multiplicative emulation of variational circuit interactions. The model achieves competitive performance on image‑classification benchmarks, matching a classical Transformer while avoiding the high runtime costs of simulated quantum models.

QTrans is a quantum transformer designed for small‑scale binary sentiment classification. It constructs query, key, and value features using parameterized quantum circuits and derives attention coefficients from Gaussian distances between quantum measurements. The model incorporates a quantum feed‑forward network, residual connections, and layer normalization, achieving higher accuracies on MR, CR, and MPQA datasets compared to classical baselines.

Large-scale Vision-Language Models have demonstrated impressive transfer learning capabilities across a wide range of tasks. For few-shot classification, we observe that VLMs exhibit a notable ability to filter candidate categories and thus achieve high Top-K accuracy.
arXiv:2606. 28655v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Parameterized quantum circuits (PQCs) provide a flexible substrate for hybrid quantum machine learning (QML), but their practical value on Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) devices remains an empirical question, especially because training depth and scale can introduce optimization challenges such as barren plateaus.
