arXiv:2608. 05240v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: One-bit post-training quantization represents each weight using only its sign, requiring all deployment contexts to share the same binary weight matrix even when their activation statistics favor different sign patterns.
arXiv:2604. 06135v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Efficient data loading remains a bottleneck for near-term quantum machine learning.
arXiv:2606. 09734v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Training parameterised quantum circuits (PQCs) on quantum hardware is bottlenecked by the measurement cost of gradient estimation, which under the parameter-shift rule scales linearly in the number of trainable parameters and dominates the total shot budget of training at scale.
arXiv:2608. 06846v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We test whether a parameterized quantum circuit (PQC) improves a hybrid quantum-classical model's performance on classical datasets, using an interface-matched classical map as the control while holding all other components fixed.
arXiv:2607. 10707v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We propose a unified meta-decoding framework for quantum error correction that learns syndrome-to-recovery mappings across multiple stabilizer codes and noise settings, without requiring separate decoders for each configuration.
arXiv:2602. 14735v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The performance of quantum classifiers is typically analyzed through global state distinguishability or the trainability of variational models.
arXiv:2606. 00079v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) large language models reduce per-token computation through sparse expert activation, but their deployment remains memory-intensive because all expert weights must be kept resident in memory.
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 Neural Networks (QNNs) are a promising framework for quantum machine learning on near-term quantum devices, but their security risks remain insufficiently understood. Studies have shown that QNNs are vulnerable to backdoor attacks, yet existing quantum backdoors mostly rely on a fixed trigger shared by all poisoned inputs.
The paper investigates how postprocessing routines in quantum neural network software can inadvertently discard a large portion of valid measurement data when run on real quantum hardware. In a case study of Qiskit’s “SamplerQNN”, a filter that assumes virtual qubit space caused 85–99.6% of measurement shots to be lost on IBM backends, leading to unnormalised probability vectors, degraded inference accuracy (from 0.94 to 0.39), and a 22–27× compression of the training loss signal. The authors provide a layout‑based marginalisation fix that has been merged into the library to ensure forward‑compatibility with current and future hardware.
The paper presents a target‑centric survey of Quantization‑Aware Training (QAT), a technique that simulates quantization during model training to produce low‑bit models with accuracy comparable to full‑precision ones. It systematically reviews existing QAT methods using a target‑centric taxonomy, highlighting differences in error characteristics, numerical formats, and strategy transferability across targets. The survey also summarizes QAT evaluation paradigms, discusses optimization and deployment challenges, and outlines potential future research directions.
