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.

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.

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.

Evaluating Hybrid Quantum-Classical Models for Reduced-Order Brain Deformation Dynamics

The paper evaluates hybrid quantum‑classical machine learning for predicting reduced‑order spatiotemporal brain deformation fields. Using Proper Orthogonal Decomposition to compress high‑dimensional displacement data, the authors compare static temporal‑to‑latent regression and autoregressive latent forecasting models. Classical neural networks outperform all quantum variants, though enhanced quantum circuits improve over minimal ones, indicating that classical architectures still hold a clear advantage in fidelity and stability for this task.

A Quantum Variational Approach to Prototypical Recurrent Unit

The paper presents a lightweight Quantum Prototypical Recurrent Unit (QPRU) that uses far fewer parameters than classical recurrent models like LSTM and GRU, as well as quantum variants such as QLSTM and QGRU. Despite its compactness, the QPRU matches state‑of‑the‑art forecasting performance. It offers structural and practical benefits, notably improved scalability and a reduced parameter count.
