Learning to Program Adaptive Non-Local Observables for Machine Learning

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.

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.

Hybrid Variational Quantum-Classical Framework with Adaptive Weighting and Efficiency Assessment

Hybrid Variational Quantum-Classical Framework with Adaptive Weighting and Efficiency Assessment introduces Sim‑HVQC, a hybrid deep quantum neural network that integrates an adaptive, parameter‑free SimAM weighting module with classical feature extraction to retain class‑discriminative information before encoding into a Variational Quantum Circuit. Unlike prior work limited to binary classification, this framework is trained and evaluated on multiple multi‑class datasets such as MNIST, KMNIST, Fashion‑MNIST, and EMNIST. The study highlights reproducibility, parameter efficiency, and interpretability through multi‑seed evaluation, parameter analysis, and latent/quantum feature inspection, with source code publicly available on GitHub.

Adaptive directional gradients for parameterised quantum circuits

arXiv:2606. 09734v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Training parameterised quantum circuits (PQCs) on quantum hardware is bottlenecked by the measurement cost of gradient estimation, which under the parameter-shift rule scales linearly in the number of trainable parameters and dominates the total shot budget of training at scale.
