The paper introduces Q‑MET, a quantum‑assisted framework that uses a hybrid quantum‑classical neural network to generate parameters for Wi‑Fi‑based human activity recognition models, drastically cutting the number of trainable parameters. By combining this approach with structured pruning during training, Q‑MET achieves 90–95% fewer trainable parameters than traditional backpropagation while preserving or improving classification accuracy. The method also yields 75–85% model sparsity for lightweight inference with less than 2% accuracy loss, enabling deployment on resource‑constrained devices.
The paper introduces vFedProtoQNAS, a prototype‑guided personalized quantum neural architecture search method for virtual federated learning. It allows each client to independently design and train a device‑specific quantum neural network while avoiding parameter aggregation across structurally different models. Instead, clients share class‑wise latent prototypes, which are refined using global prototypes from the server to serve as federated semantic anchors, leading to a 3.70% accuracy improvement over FedAvg.

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.
Most multimodal learning methods improve how heterogeneous representations are aligned and fused, while post-fusion enhancement remains less explored. We propose Parallel Quantum Feature Augmentation (PQFA), a hybrid quantum-classical framework that applies multiple shallow variational quantum circuits to fused multimodal features.
