Quantum diffusion models provide a physics-consistent route to generative learning by formulating noising and denoising directly on quantum states. However, applying such models to classical high-dimensional data is constrained by the qubit cost of state encoding and the computational burden of simulating large density operators.

The paper introduces a scalable hybrid Quantum Diffusion Model for medical image analysis, leveraging a Discrete-Time Quantum Walk executed on a real quantum device to model forward diffusion dynamics. A classical learning model is employed for the backward denoising step, enabling the processing of large real-world medical data, including grayscale, RGB, and moderate-sized 3D volumes. The authors benchmark their quantum approach against a classical discrete-state diffusion model, demonstrating competitive generation performance across three state-of-the-art image generation metrics.

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.

Quantum generative adversarial networks (QGANs) have attracted increasing attention for image generation using parameterized quantum circuits. Existing amplitude-based approaches face two key limitations: pixel locations are typically encoded by computational-basis indices or address qubits, causing quantum resources to grow with image resolution; meanwhile, jointly decoding many pixels from normalized quantum states introduces probability competition among pixels and limits precise pixel-wise control.
