The paper introduces Quantum-Inspired Nonlinear Adapters (QINA), compact modules that apply learnable trigonometric feature lifting followed by bounded nonlinear aggregation to pretrained vision models. QINA enables structured oscillatory basis functions with a norm-dependent Lipschitz bound, allowing spectral reshaping of representations without expanding the receptive field or significantly increasing parameters. Experiments on natural and medical imaging tasks show that QINA consistently outperforms identity baselines, fixed Fourier mappings, and parameter-matched generic adapters, demonstrating that geometry- and spectrum-aware adaptation is crucial for effective frozen-backbone transfer learning.

The paper introduces a hybrid quantum–classical regression framework that uses a lightweight classical embedding as a learnable geometric preconditioner to improve the conditioning of a downstream variational quantum circuit. It further incorporates a curriculum optimization protocol that gradually increases circuit depth and switches from SPSA-based exploration to Adam-based fine‑tuning. Experiments on PDE‑informed and standard regression datasets show that this approach consistently outperforms pure QNN baselines, yielding more stable convergence and reduced structured errors, especially in data‑limited regimes.

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.
