Evaluating Hybrid Quantum-Classical Models for Reduced-Order Brain Deformation Dynamics

The paper evaluates hybrid quantum‑classical machine learning for predicting reduced‑order spatiotemporal brain deformation fields. Using Proper Orthogonal Decomposition to compress high‑dimensional displacement data, the authors compare static temporal‑to‑latent regression and autoregressive latent forecasting models. Classical neural networks outperform all quantum variants, though enhanced quantum circuits improve over minimal ones, indicating that classical architectures still hold a clear advantage in fidelity and stability for this task.

Trainability-Oriented Hybrid Quantum Regression via Geometric Preconditioning and Curriculum Optimization

The paper introduces a hybrid quantum–classical regression framework that uses a lightweight classical embedding as a learnable geometric preconditioner to improve the conditioning of a downstream variational quantum circuit. It further incorporates a curriculum optimization protocol that gradually increases circuit depth and switches from SPSA-based exploration to Adam-based fine‑tuning. Experiments on PDE‑informed and standard regression datasets show that this approach consistently outperforms pure QNN baselines, yielding more stable convergence and reduced structured errors, especially in data‑limited regimes.

Recursive Quantum Long Short-Term Memory for Stable Short-Horizon Temperature Forecasting

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.

Variational Quantum Conditional Boltzmann Machines for Time-Series Forecasting: Architectures, Symmetric Hyperparameter Evaluation, and a Nonlinear Benchmark

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.
