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.

arXiv:2608. 17069v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Federated deployments of variational quantum classifiers are attractive for cross-organisation risk prediction in supply chains, because raw data never leaves the client, yet data-protection regulations such as the GDPR grant clients a right to request that their contribution be removed from a trained model after the fact.

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. 09108v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study the integration of variational quantum circuits (VQCs) into diffusion models through a squeeze-and-excitation (SE) channel-modulation scaffold that isolates the quantum contribution.

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.
By Mehdi Saeedi, Eddie Richter, Paul Hartke
Quantum circuit optimization for fault-tolerant computing requires exact functional equivalence while minimizing expensive non-Clifford resources such as T gates. We study this problem using a compact 44.
