The paper introduces vFedProtoQNAS, a prototype‑guided personalized quantum neural architecture search method for virtual federated learning. It allows each client to independently design and train a device‑specific quantum neural network while avoiding parameter aggregation across structurally different models. Instead, clients share class‑wise latent prototypes, which are refined using global prototypes from the server to serve as federated semantic anchors, leading to a 3.70% accuracy improvement over FedAvg.

The paper introduces QFWP-ANO, a quantum neural network architecture that uses a classical hypernetwork to program variational quantum circuit parameters and non‑local observables conditioned on each input. Unlike existing adaptive non‑local observable (ANO) methods that learn a single static observable, QFWP-ANO dynamically adapts to each input. Experiments on multivariate time‑series forecasting and reinforcement learning tasks show that QFWP-ANO outperforms traditional ANO‑based VQCs and other strong baselines, achieving the lowest mean‑squared error in most settings.
The paper proposes Entanglement-Weighted Pruning (EWP), a method for unlearning a client’s contribution from a federated quantum classifier without retraining from scratch. EWP scores each trainable circuit parameter by combining a Fisher‑information estimate on the target client’s data with a structural entanglement weight, pruning the lowest‑scoring parameters and optionally fine‑tuning the remaining ones. Experiments on a four‑qubit data‑re‑uploading ansatz trained with FedAvg across five simulated supply‑chain‑risk clients show that EWP achieves accuracy comparable to full retraining while reducing forgetting and wall‑clock time by about sixteenfold, outperforming random, Fisher‑only, or entanglement‑only pruning.

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.

The paper presents a reinforcement‑learning approach to schedule link‑level entanglement in quantum networks, using a Markov Decision Process and double deep Q‑networks with message‑passing neural networks. The resulting policies achieve 100% success rates even when the link activation probability is reduced by up to 71% compared to baseline heuristics, and maintain at least 80% success when task placements are hardware‑restricted. The authors also develop metrics to interpret the learned policy and employ a large language model to generate a heuristic that matches the DQN performance, suggesting a scalable method for extracting interpretable strategies in large quantum networks.
Quantum Neural Networks (QNNs) are a promising framework for quantum machine learning on near-term quantum devices, but their security risks remain insufficiently understood. Studies have shown that QNNs are vulnerable to backdoor attacks, yet existing quantum backdoors mostly rely on a fixed trigger shared by all poisoned inputs.
