Quantum MeanFlow (QMF) is a new quantum generative sampling method that enables single‑step sample generation by learning an average velocity field over a time interval, unlike the multi‑step quantum flow matching (QFM) which requires sequential integration of an ordinary differential equation. Using parameterized quantum circuits, the authors benchmark QMF and QFM on the MNIST dataset, finding that QMF produces lower image quality than multi‑step QFM but outperforms single‑step QFM at every shot count. Both models were executed on IBM quantum computers, and best‑of‑N rejection sampling mitigates device noise without circuit modification, demonstrating QMF’s practicality for efficient single‑step quantum generative sampling.

Quantum Fidelity Landscape-Guided Prior Calibration for Single-Circuit QGAN Image Generation explores a simpler pixel‑level, end‑to‑end approach to quantum generative adversarial networks (QGANs) that avoids patch‑based decomposition. The authors introduce the Quantum Fidelity Landscape (QFL) as an invariant pairwise‑fidelity structure preserved under shared unitary transformations, and use it to calibrate the quantum prior before adversarial training. Their BasicQGAN framework aligns the prior‑induced QFL with the data‑induced QFL, achieving stable, effective image generation on small‑scale grayscale datasets while requiring fewer qubits and trainable parameters than patch‑based quantum generators.
The paper presents an evolutionary framework, EXAQC, that automatically discovers parameterized quantum circuits (PQCs) for use as intermediate modules in hybrid quantum‑classical neural networks for image classification. By evolving PQCs while keeping classical feature‑extraction and prediction layers fixed, the authors achieve high accuracies on MNIST, Fashion‑MNIST, and CIFAR‑10 with gate counts comparable to other quantum architecture‑search methods. The evolved hybrid models match or exceed the performance of classical networks while using far fewer trainable parameters, and the choice of encoding (rotation‑based vs amplitude) significantly impacts accuracy.

The paper introduces TabularQGAN, a quantum generative adversarial network designed to synthesize tabular data with both categorical and numerical features. It proposes flexible data encoding and a novel quantum circuit ansatz, and evaluates the model on MIMIC‑III and Adult Census datasets, benchmarking against classical methods such as CTGAN, CopulaGAN, VAE‑GMM, and an LLM‑based approach. Results from noiseless statevector simulations show competitive or leading performance in overall similarity scores and demonstrate strong generalization through custom metrics.
