Seasonal and Quantum-inspired Models for Neutron Monitor Time Series Forecasting

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.

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.

Quantum-classical hybrid models based on error correction for time series forecasting

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.

Parameter-Efficient Quantum-Inspired Fast Weight Programmers for Traffic-Matrix Forecasting

arXiv:2606. 27821v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Traffic matrices (TMs) capture network-wide origin-destination demand and are central to traffic engineering, yet accurate whole-matrix forecasting remains challenging when prediction must be performed under the memory, update, and training-budget constraints of online network control.
