An architectural capacity ceiling, not a barren plateau: why a fixed-encoding variational quantum circuit cannot fit the Lorenz-63 attractor

arXiv:2604. 23743v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Variational quantum circuits train poorly on chaotic forecasting, usually blamed on barren plateaus (exponentially vanishing gradients).

Quantum Adaptive Self-Attention for Quantum Transformer Models

arXiv:2504. 05336v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: A recurring weakness in quantum machine learning (QML) is that reported ``quantum advantages'' are seldom tested against a \emph{capacity-matched} classical control, leaving it unclear whether a gain comes from the quantum substrate or from the architectural change that accompanies it.

Breaking the One-Dimensional Expressibility-Trainability Tradeoff

arXiv:2607. 04598v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Expressive parameterized quantum circuits (PQCs) are often designed under a dilemma: the growth of expressibility and entangling power (EP) that improves Hilbert-space coverage is also expected to randomize an ansatz and activate barren-plateau (BP) conditions.

An Analytically Trained Variational Surrogate for Quantum Phase Estimation on NISQ Hardware

arXiv:2607. 20943v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Quantum Phase Estimation (QPE) is a foundational algorithm for molecular ground-state energy estimation, but its deep circuit requirements make direct hardware execution impractical on Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) devices.
