QuPAINT is a physics‑aware multimodal framework designed to characterize two‑dimensional quantum materials using optical microscopy. It employs the Synthetic Materials Framework (Synthia) to generate diverse synthetic images that preserve layer‑dependent optical behavior, and builds the QMat‑Instruct dataset with image‑specific reasoning traces. The framework integrates these signals through Physics‑Informed Attention (PIA) and is evaluated on the newly introduced QF‑Bench benchmark, achieving state‑of‑the‑art performance for flake detection and demonstrating improved spatial grounding and confidence calibration.

Quantum Fidelity Landscape-Guided Prior Calibration for Single-Circuit QGAN Image Generation explores a simpler pixel‑level, end‑to‑end approach to quantum generative adversarial networks (QGANs) that avoids patch‑based decomposition. The authors introduce the Quantum Fidelity Landscape (QFL) as an invariant pairwise‑fidelity structure preserved under shared unitary transformations, and use it to calibrate the quantum prior before adversarial training. Their BasicQGAN framework aligns the prior‑induced QFL with the data‑induced QFL, achieving stable, effective image generation on small‑scale grayscale datasets while requiring fewer qubits and trainable parameters than patch‑based quantum generators.
Quantum generative adversarial networks (QGANs) have attracted increasing attention for image generation using parameterized quantum circuits. Existing amplitude-based approaches face two key limitations: pixel locations are typically encoded by computational-basis indices or address qubits, causing quantum resources to grow with image resolution; meanwhile, jointly decoding many pixels from normalized quantum states introduces probability competition among pixels and limits precise pixel-wise control.

Large-scale Vision-Language Models have demonstrated impressive transfer learning capabilities across a wide range of tasks. For few-shot classification, we observe that VLMs exhibit a notable ability to filter candidate categories and thus achieve high Top-K accuracy.

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.
