We propose a method to optimize the correlation among convolutional neural network (CNN) features that are used as inputs to quantum neural network (QNN) to enhance image classification accuracy. Unlike prior approaches that employ orthogonal decomposition as preprocessing, we intentionally introduce correlated features that are more physically compatible with QNN.
arXiv:2606. 03517v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Training quantum neural networks (QNNs) on quantum hardware is currently bottlenecked by the cost of gradient estimation: standard parameter-shift methods require a number of circuit evaluations that grows quadratically with the number of trainable parameters, making hardware-based optimisation impractical beyond small system sizes.

arXiv:2606. 20504v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We present a systematic study of von Neumann entropy estimation in multi-qutrit quantum systems using two complementary approaches: variational quantum algorithms (VQAs) and classical convolutional neural networks (CNNs), evaluated using an ideal (noise-free) quantum simulator.

arXiv:2607. 27262v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Variational quantum algorithms often encounter barren plateaus, where cost gradients decay rapidly with increasing circuit depth, undermining the trainability of parameterized quantum circuits.

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.
arXiv:2607. 21688v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Machine-learning surrogates of physical systems face a paradox: explainable models facing the challenge of expressivity to capture complex nonlinear flows, whereas expressive deep surrogates match high-fidelity simulations only through massive parameterisations that turn the learned dynamics into a black box.
