Structured Unitary Tensor Network Representations for Circuit-Efficient Quantum Data Encoding

The paper introduces Tensor Network-based Quantum Data Encoding (TNQE), a framework that uses structured unitary tensor network representations to encode classical data into quantum states efficiently. TNQE decomposes each input into tensor cores and compiles them into encoding circuits via two core-to-circuit strategies, with learnable block unitaries ensuring trainability while maintaining unitarity. The method achieves significantly shallower circuits—down to 0.04× the depth of amplitude encoding—and scales to high‑resolution images, demonstrating practical feasibility on real quantum hardware.

Edge-Local and Qubit-Efficient Quantum Graph Learning for the NISQ Era

arXiv:2602. 16018v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Graph neural networks (GNNs) are a powerful framework for learning representations from graph-structured data, but their direct implementation on near-term quantum hardware remains challenging due to circuit depth, multi-qubit interactions, and qubit scalability constraints.

Evolving Hybrid Quantum-Classical Architectures for Image Classification

The paper presents an evolutionary framework, EXAQC, that automatically discovers parameterized quantum circuits (PQCs) for use as intermediate modules in hybrid quantum‑classical neural networks for image classification. By evolving PQCs while keeping classical feature‑extraction and prediction layers fixed, the authors achieve high accuracies on MNIST, Fashion‑MNIST, and CIFAR‑10 with gate counts comparable to other quantum architecture‑search methods. The evolved hybrid models match or exceed the performance of classical networks while using far fewer trainable parameters, and the choice of encoding (rotation‑based vs amplitude) significantly impacts accuracy.
