Large-scale Vision-Language Models have demonstrated impressive transfer learning capabilities across a wide range of tasks. For few-shot classification, we observe that VLMs exhibit a notable ability to filter candidate categories and thus achieve high Top-K accuracy.
Most multimodal learning methods improve how heterogeneous representations are aligned and fused, while post-fusion enhancement remains less explored. We propose Parallel Quantum Feature Augmentation (PQFA), a hybrid quantum-classical framework that applies multiple shallow variational quantum circuits to fused multimodal features.

arXiv:2608. 15601v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Compositional Concept Generalization (CoCoGen), the ability to systematically recombine learned primitives in novel contexts, is a key challenge for multimodal learning.
The paper introduces Quantum-Inspired Nonlinear Adapters (QINA), compact modules that apply learnable trigonometric feature lifting followed by bounded nonlinear aggregation to pretrained vision models. QINA enables structured oscillatory basis functions with a norm-dependent Lipschitz bound, allowing spectral reshaping of representations without expanding the receptive field or significantly increasing parameters. Experiments on natural and medical imaging tasks show that QINA consistently outperforms identity baselines, fixed Fourier mappings, and parameter-matched generic adapters, demonstrating that geometry- and spectrum-aware adaptation is crucial for effective frozen-backbone transfer learning.
QiT is a Quantum‑Inspired Transformer designed for visual recognition tasks. It replaces quantum neural network concepts with scalable classical operations: angle‑inspired encoding of image tokens, self‑attention over periodic features approximating quantum fidelity kernels, and gated multiplicative emulation of variational circuit interactions. The model achieves competitive performance on image‑classification benchmarks, matching a classical Transformer while avoiding the high runtime costs of simulated quantum models.

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.
