arXiv:2606. 11620v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Approximate tensor-network simulators enable classical simulation of quantum circuits beyond the reach of exact methods, but selecting optimal approximation parameters -- such as bond dimension thresholds -- remains a costly trial-and-error process.

The paper investigates how postprocessing routines in quantum neural network software can cause significant data loss when run on large quantum hardware. In a case study of Qiskit’s “SamplerQNN”, a filter that assumes measurement bit‑strings are in virtual qubit space removed 85–99.6% of valid shots on IBM backends, leading to unnormalised probability vectors and distorted predictions. This loss caused inference accuracy to drop from 0.94 to 0.39 and compressed training loss signals by 22–27×, severely reducing optimizer sensitivity. The authors implemented a layout‑based marginalisation fix that was merged into the library to make “SamplerQNN” forward‑compatible with current and future hardware.

Cross-Backend QIEO is a runtime core for quantum-inspired evolutionary optimization that unifies execution across OpenMP5, CUDA, HIP, and multiple high-level languages. It compiles a single C++ implementation per hardware target and dispatches to CPU, multi-core, NVIDIA, or AMD backends at runtime, adapting kernels to each device’s memory hierarchy. The framework is validated with real-world bindings: a Python neural‑network hyperparameter optimizer achieving 88.60 % MNIST accuracy, a MATLAB wind‑farm layout optimizer matching particle swarm results and outperforming genetic algorithms, and a Julia package that reduces mean SSE by 2.1× in Lotka–Volterra parameter estimation.

The paper introduces MQSS-Selector, a reinforcement‑learning guided pass selection system for an MLIR compilation pipeline aimed at unified High Performance Computing‑Quantum Computing (HPCQC) infrastructures. It addresses the challenges of Noisy Intermediate‑Scale Quantum (NISQ) devices by integrating device selection, compiler‑pass optimization, and job queue scheduling into a single learning‑based framework. The selector can simultaneously optimize multiple objectives—fidelity, compilation time, and scheduling latency—while adapting to circuit characteristics and device conditions.

arXiv:2604. 23931v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Variational quantum circuits (VQCs) are a leading approach to quantum machine learning on near-term devices, yet it remains unclear which circuit architecture yields the best accuracy-parameter trade-off on classical tabular data.

The paper investigates how postprocessing routines in quantum neural network software can inadvertently discard a large portion of valid measurement data when run on real quantum hardware. In a case study of Qiskit’s “SamplerQNN”, a filter that assumes virtual qubit space caused 85–99.6% of measurement shots to be lost on IBM backends, leading to unnormalised probability vectors, degraded inference accuracy (from 0.94 to 0.39), and a 22–27× compression of the training loss signal. The authors provide a layout‑based marginalisation fix that has been merged into the library to ensure forward‑compatibility with current and future hardware.
