arXiv:2607. 04598v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Expressive parameterized quantum circuits (PQCs) are often designed under a dilemma: the growth of expressibility and entangling power (EP) that improves Hilbert-space coverage is also expected to randomize an ansatz and activate barren-plateau (BP) conditions.
arXiv:2607. 16800v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Variational Quantum Algorithms (VQAs) are a leading paradigm for near-term quantum computing, yet their training suffers from sensitivity to circuit depth, initialization, and landscape pathologies such as barren plateaus.
arXiv:2606. 31536v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: As Quantum Machine Learning (QML) transitions toward practical implementation, the field faces a critical architectural bottleneck that challenges the fundamental assumptions of classical statistical learning theory.
arXiv:2607. 06230v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Parameterized quantum circuits (PQCs) are increasingly used as policies and value functions in quantum reinforcement learning, yet it remains unclear when and why quantum policies generalize.
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 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:2604. 23743v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Variational quantum circuits train poorly on chaotic forecasting, usually blamed on barren plateaus (exponentially vanishing gradients).
arXiv:2606. 11673v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Standard dot-product self-attention computes, in a single layer, only pairwise (order-2) interactions between tokens; representing a generic order-$k$ interaction is known to require either super-quadratic resources in one layer or composition across depth.
arXiv:2606. 30688v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Symmetry provides a quantum neural network structure, but on its own it does not keep the network trainable once noise is present.

arXiv:2607. 20943v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Quantum Phase Estimation (QPE) is a foundational algorithm for molecular ground-state energy estimation, but its deep circuit requirements make direct hardware execution impractical on Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) devices.
arXiv:2607. 12780v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Quantum circuit optimization for fault-tolerant computing requires exact functional equivalence while minimizing expensive non-Clifford resources such as T gates.
The paper introduces QXymb, a framework for building observational declarative twins of quantum circuits, and presents its first complete order‑0 specialization, QILP‑0. QILP‑0 transforms observed circuit behavior into a finite multi‑valued propositional logic program by incrementally traversing a declared family of quantum observables, quantifying progress via reference‑relative coverage, and preserving observational semantics through deterministic mapping back to original observable columns. Validation on Bars & Stripes and MNIST quantum machine learning settings shows that the induced QILP‑0 theory achieves perfect, conflict‑free reconstruction of the discrete relations, with logical exactness separated from numerical and discretization uncertainties. whyItMatters":"The work demonstrates a method to construct exact observational declarative twins of quantum circuits, enabling precise logical reconstruction of quantum behavior independent of numerical uncertainties."
