Image Classification Using CNN-QNN Hybrid Model with Optimized Correlated Features

We propose a method to optimize the correlation among convolutional neural network (CNN) features that are used as inputs to quantum neural network (QNN) to enhance image classification accuracy. Unlike prior approaches that employ orthogonal decomposition as preprocessing, we intentionally introduce correlated features that are more physically compatible with QNN.

Quantum Algorithm for Distributed Reduction of Entanglements (QADR): A Trainable and Simulation-Efficient QML Framework

arXiv:2606. 01291v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Training Variational Quantum Circuits (VQCs) under Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) constraints introduces severe computational limitations: classical statevector simulation memory scales exponentially ($\mathcal{O}(2^n)$), and global cost functions suffer from barren plateaus where gradient variance decays exponentially ($\mathcal{O}(1/2^n)$).

Entropy Estimation in Multi-Qutrit Systems via Variational and Classical Neural Networks

arXiv:2606. 20504v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We present a systematic study of von Neumann entropy estimation in multi-qutrit quantum systems using two complementary approaches: variational quantum algorithms (VQAs) and classical convolutional neural networks (CNNs), evaluated using an ideal (noise-free) quantum simulator.

Scalable On-Hardware Training of Quantum Neural Networks and Application to Clinical Data Imputation

arXiv:2606. 03517v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Training quantum neural networks (QNNs) on quantum hardware is currently bottlenecked by the cost of gradient estimation: standard parameter-shift methods require a number of circuit evaluations that grows quadratically with the number of trainable parameters, making hardware-based optimisation impractical beyond small system sizes.
