Exploring the Effects of Entanglement on Quantum Machine Learning of Pathogen Epitope-Receptor Binding

arXiv:2606. 28655v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Parameterized quantum circuits (PQCs) provide a flexible substrate for hybrid quantum machine learning (QML), but their practical value on Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) devices remains an empirical question, especially because training depth and scale can introduce optimization challenges such as barren plateaus.

When do quantum views help? Complementary classical-quantum representations in multi-view fusion

The paper investigates when quantum machine learning can enhance predictive performance by fusing classical and quantum representations in multi‑view learning. It introduces a framework that preserves full classical inputs while adding simulated quantum features, and uses concatenation and attention to combine the views. Experiments on synthetic angular‑polynomial data and real datasets (Wine, Wisconsin Diagnostic Breast Cancer, Fashion‑MNIST, Steel Plates Faults) show that fusion improves predictions for targets that depend on complementary classical and quantum relationships, while classical‑only baselines perform best on other tasks.

Improving Sample Efficiency in Peptide-HLA Binding Prediction with Hybrid Quantum-Classical Neural Networks

The paper introduces a hybrid quantum-classical neural network (HQNN) for predicting peptide-HLA binding, a key step in personalized cancer immunotherapy. HQNN combines biological feature encoding, quantum feature extractors, and a quantum-enhanced classifier, outperforming a classical CNN baseline on two HLA alleles across all training sizes, especially when data are scarce. Ablation studies and noise-aware simulations confirm the benefits of the quantum components and the robustness of the approach under realistic hardware noise.

QuantumBoostNet: A Hybrid Classical-Quantum Architecture for Enhanced Accuracy in Cardiac Ultrasound View Identification

QuantumBoostNet is a hybrid classical‑quantum architecture designed to improve accuracy in identifying cardiac ultrasound views. It combines a classical backbone with two heads—one classical and a 10‑qubit quantum circuit—trained in two stages with an adaptive mixing parameter that balances loss dynamics. Experiments show that, even with limited qubits, QuantumBoostNet outperforms state‑of‑the‑art classical and hybrid models on cardiac ultrasound view identification, image classification benchmarks, and demonstrates robustness to noise.

QuantumBoostNet: A Hybrid Classical-Quantum Architecture for Enhanced Accuracy in Cardiac Ultrasound View Identification

QuantumBoostNet is a hybrid classical‑quantum architecture designed to improve accuracy in identifying cardiac ultrasound views. The model combines a classical backbone with two heads—one classical and a 10‑qubit quantum circuit—using an adaptive mixing parameter to switch between them during training. Experiments show that, even with limited qubits, QuantumBoostNet outperforms state‑of‑the‑art classical and hybrid models on cardiac ultrasound view identification, image classification benchmarks, and demonstrates robustness to noise.
