arXiv:2602. 23409v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Angle-encoded variational quantum circuits admit a truncated Fourier series representation of their output, but approximating functions with maximum frequency $\omega_{\max}$ using fixed unary encoding requires $\mathcal{O}(\omega_{\max})$ encoding gates.
arXiv:2607. 11013v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Data re-uploading parameterized quantum circuits (DRU-PQCs) are universal function approximators, yet their expressivity produces oscillatory, non-convex loss landscapes that resist gradient-based optimization.
arXiv:2607. 12780v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Quantum circuit optimization for fault-tolerant computing requires exact functional equivalence while minimizing expensive non-Clifford resources such as T gates.
Quantum circuit optimization for fault-tolerant computing requires exact functional equivalence while minimizing expensive non-Clifford resources such as T gates. We study this problem using a compact 44.
arXiv:2606. 09734v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Training parameterised quantum circuits (PQCs) on quantum hardware is bottlenecked by the measurement cost of gradient estimation, which under the parameter-shift rule scales linearly in the number of trainable parameters and dominates the total shot budget of training at scale.
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:2606. 11620v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Approximate tensor-network simulators enable classical simulation of quantum circuits beyond the reach of exact methods, but selecting optimal approximation parameters -- such as bond dimension thresholds -- remains a costly trial-and-error process.
arXiv:2601. 03123v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: When the gate set has continuous parameters, synthesizing a unitary operator as a quantum circuit is, in principle, always possible using exact methods.
arXiv:2607. 22516v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: A central design principle in modern machine learning and artificial intelligence is to align a model's inductive bias with the structure of its input data.
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.
In this paper, we present CAT-Q, Cost-efficient and Accurate Ternary Quantization, for compressing and accelerating LLMs. Unlike existing state-of-the-art ternary quantization methods that rely on data-intensive and costly quantization-aware training to mitigate severe performance degradation, CAT-Q is a simple yet effective post-training quantization scheme that is readily applicable to LLMs with diverse architectures and model sizes.
arXiv:2606. 31536v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: As Quantum Machine Learning (QML) transitions toward practical implementation, the field faces a critical architectural bottleneck that challenges the fundamental assumptions of classical statistical learning theory.
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.
