Effective Dimension Governs Generalization in Quantum Kernel Vision Models

arXiv:2606. 20183v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recent quantum vision models-quantum vision transformers and quantum convolutional networks-report two striking but unexplained empirical phenomena: (i) ansatze with more, or more uniformly distributed, entanglement generalize better, and (ii) injecting quantum noise can improve test accuracy rather than degrade it.

Quantum Gaussian processes for prediction of channel observations

arXiv:2608. 19306v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Given a set of input states, we consider the task of predicting the expectation value of a Pauli observable at the output of an unknown quantum evolution, using only a limited number of measurements.

How Quantum Is the Advantage? A Fair, Calibration- and Noise-Aware Benchmark and Attribution Audit of Quantum Machine Learning for Network Intrusion Detection

The study evaluates quantum machine learning (QML) models for network intrusion detection against well-tuned classical baselines across four standard datasets, using a leakage-controlled protocol and noise simulation. It introduces a quantum-attribution audit to determine whether any performance gains are truly due to quantum effects. While most tuned classical models match or surpass QML, two quantum approaches— a quantum-kernel SVM and a small hybrid circuit—show statistically significant advantages on specific metrics and tasks.

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.
