QuantumBoostNet is a hybrid classical‑quantum architecture designed to improve accuracy in identifying cardiac ultrasound views. It combines a classical backbone with two heads—one classical and a 10‑qubit quantum circuit—trained in two stages with an adaptive mixing parameter that balances loss dynamics. Experiments show that, even with limited qubits, QuantumBoostNet outperforms state‑of‑the‑art classical and hybrid models on cardiac ultrasound view identification, image classification benchmarks, and demonstrates robustness to noise.

QuantumBoostNet is a hybrid classical‑quantum architecture designed to improve accuracy in identifying cardiac ultrasound views. The model combines a classical backbone with two heads—one classical and a 10‑qubit quantum circuit—using an adaptive mixing parameter to switch between them during training. Experiments show that, even with limited qubits, QuantumBoostNet outperforms state‑of‑the‑art classical and hybrid models on cardiac ultrasound view identification, image classification benchmarks, and demonstrates robustness to noise.

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.

The paper compares classical and hybrid quantum machine learning models for a trigger-like binary classification task using CMS open data. Eight classical models (SVM, ANN, CNN, LSTM) and eight quantum counterparts are evaluated under identical preprocessing, data splits, and decision thresholds, with performance measured by accuracy, ROC‑AUC, F1‑score, precision, and recall. The best classical model is an artificial neural network (93.53 % accuracy, 0.9819 ROC‑AUC), while the best quantum model is a quantum convolutional network (90.89 % accuracy, 0.9731 ROC‑AUC), indicating that within an eight‑qubit budget the quantum models do not surpass the classical ones.
