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.

arXiv:2607. 16800v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Variational Quantum Algorithms (VQAs) are a leading paradigm for near-term quantum computing, yet their training suffers from sensitivity to circuit depth, initialization, and landscape pathologies such as barren plateaus.

arXiv:2608. 03962v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Modern large language models - transformers and diffusion language models - are built around two canonical algorithmic tasks: prediction and generation.

arXiv:2604. 23931v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Variational quantum circuits (VQCs) are a leading approach to quantum machine learning on near-term devices, yet it remains unclear which circuit architecture yields the best accuracy-parameter trade-off on classical tabular data.

arXiv:2607. 06230v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Parameterized quantum circuits (PQCs) are increasingly used as policies and value functions in quantum reinforcement learning, yet it remains unclear when and why quantum policies generalize.

arXiv:2608. 06846v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We test whether a parameterized quantum circuit (PQC) improves a hybrid quantum-classical model's performance on classical datasets, using an interface-matched classical map as the control while holding all other components fixed.

arXiv:2607. 02893v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Low-bit quantization shrinks language models but treats precision as a single global hyper-parameter: every weight uses the same bit-width.

arXiv:2608. 07822v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Quaternion-valued neural networks and variational quantum circuits (VQCs) both derive local transformations from $\mathrm{SU}(2)$ geometry, yet their performance on classical supervised learning remains poorly understood.

arXiv:2605. 23393v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Mechanistic interpretability of transformers requires identifying not just which components matter but how they compose into the computational route that produced a prediction.

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.

arXiv:2607. 11936v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Hyperdimensional Computing (HDC) represents symbols using high-dimensional hypervectors of dimension $D$.

arXiv:2608. 07628v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Deep parameterized quantum circuits may remain sensitive to a parameter change while the observables retained by a learning model barely respond.
