Multivariate time series forecasting (MTSF) predicts future values of multiple variables from historical data. While quantum neural networks have been increasingly applied to this task, they typically rely on fixed local measurements, which restrict their expressivity.
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.

arXiv:2606. 15213v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Time series forecasting largely benefits from combining the strengths of different models, especially using a scheme where a model corrects another model by capturing supplementary patterns from forecasting errors.

The paper presents a reproducible study of multi‑horizon forecasting on the Lomnicky Stit neutron monitor (LMKS) time series. It evaluates a range of models—from simple seasonal baselines to modern deep sequence models and quantum‑inspired architectures such as QiLSTM and QiKAN—using MAE and RMSE metrics. Results show that the quantum‑inspired KAN variant (QiKAN) achieves the lowest aggregate error, while the simple Seasonal Naive baseline remains highly competitive, indicating that strong seasonal or low‑dimensional functional priors can rival more complex models for highly periodic scientific data.
The paper introduces a recursive quantum long short-term memory (QLSTM) architecture and compares it to a standard QLSTM for one-step-ahead daily temperature forecasting. Using Toronto weather data and identical training settings, the recursive model consistently reaches near-optimal test loss earlier, achieves lower mean absolute error and root mean squared error, and shows a smaller generalization gap across input windows of 8, 16, and 32 days over 20 random seeds. These findings suggest that recursive quantum feature transformations can enhance stability and out-of-sample performance in compact hybrid quantum–classical temporal models.
arXiv:2607. 24065v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In this study, we developed and evaluated four conditional energy-based forecasting architectures: a classical Gaussian-Bernoulli CRBM, a hybrid quantum-classical QCRBM, a full-register QQRBM, and a lag-feature QFeatureQRBM with complete derivations of their conditional distributions, Contrastive-Divergence gradients, and hybrid training, bridging the energy-based formulation and the implementation-level quantum computation.
arXiv:2606. 27561v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Generative models have achieved remarkable success in data synthesis, though recent advances driven by increasing model scale have introduced challenges in computational cost and efficiency.
The paper presents a lightweight Quantum Prototypical Recurrent Unit (QPRU) that uses far fewer parameters than classical recurrent models like LSTM and GRU, as well as quantum variants such as QLSTM and QGRU. Despite its compactness, the QPRU matches state‑of‑the‑art forecasting performance. It offers structural and practical benefits, notably improved scalability and a reduced parameter count.
