The paper introduces the Physics-Informed Stochastic Configuration Machine (PI‑SCM), a backpropagation‑free neural network designed for solving nonlinear differential equations. By analytically evaluating local Jacobians, PI‑SCM linearizes the physical loss, enabling optimal weight determination through generalized linear least squares and avoiding iterative nonlinear optimization. The authors present a progressive algorithmic suite—PI‑SC‑I, PI‑SC‑II, and PI‑SC‑III—prove their universal approximation properties, and show through experiments that PI‑SCM achieves high‑fidelity predictions and parameter identification while accelerating training by orders of magnitude compared to standard PINNs.

The paper introduces SW-KAN, a Kolmogorov‑Arnold Network that replaces traditional B‑spline activations with Stieltjes‑Wigert q‑orthogonal polynomials defined on the semi‑infinite domain (0, ∞). It addresses the domain mismatch between unbounded inputs and bounded polynomial bases by applying a smooth exponential‑of‑tanh mapping, and uses a numerically stable three‑term recurrence to evaluate polynomial expansions efficiently. Experiments on image classification and continuous function approximation show that SW‑KAN achieves better accuracy‑efficiency trade‑offs than existing polynomial KANs, especially in resource‑constrained scenarios with limited data or feature dimensionality.

AlphaClifford is a model‑based reinforcement learning framework that uses Monte Carlo Tree Search to synthesize Clifford circuits from the H, S, and CNOT gate set. By modeling the state space with the algebraic properties of the symplectic group, it consistently reduces total and two‑qubit gate counts compared to existing heuristics. The approach also extends to hardware‑constrained transpilation and serves as a post‑synthesis optimizer in a full Clifford+T pipeline.
