QiT: Quantum-Inspired Transformer for Visual Recognition Task

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.

Quantum MeanFlow: single-shot generative sampling on NISQ hardware

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.

How Much Reconstruction Does Quantum Machine Learning Need? Late Fusion of Independently Trained Quantum Subcircuits

Circuit cutting lets a large quantum neural network (QNN) run as independent subcircuits on small devices, but rebuilding its outputs by reconstruction carries a classical sampling overhead exponential in the number of cuts - the dominant runtime cost in prior work. We ask whether, for machine-learning tasks, this step is necessary, and replace it with late fusion: each subcircuit is trained and measured independently, and a small classical head combines their outputs - a linear-cost, decision-level combination borrowed from multimodal learning.

Quantum Adaptive Self-Attention for Quantum Transformer Models

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.
