Quantum machine learning has recently emerged as a promising paradigm that leverages the expressive power of quantum circuits to address complex learning tasks. In this work, we investigate the applicability of hybrid quantum-classical neural networks to sentiment analysis, a central problem in natural language processing.
QTrans is a quantum transformer designed for small‑scale binary sentiment classification. It constructs query, key, and value features using parameterized quantum circuits and derives attention coefficients from Gaussian distances between quantum measurements. The model incorporates a quantum feed‑forward network, residual connections, and layer normalization, achieving higher accuracies on MR, CR, and MPQA datasets compared to classical baselines.

Hybrid Variational Quantum-Classical Framework with Adaptive Weighting and Efficiency Assessment introduces Sim‑HVQC, a hybrid deep quantum neural network that integrates an adaptive, parameter‑free SimAM weighting module with classical feature extraction to retain class‑discriminative information before encoding into a Variational Quantum Circuit. Unlike prior work limited to binary classification, this framework is trained and evaluated on multiple multi‑class datasets such as MNIST, KMNIST, Fashion‑MNIST, and EMNIST. The study highlights reproducibility, parameter efficiency, and interpretability through multi‑seed evaluation, parameter analysis, and latent/quantum feature inspection, with source code publicly available on GitHub.

The paper demonstrates that a small quantum computer of polylogarithmic size can achieve large‑scale classification and dimension reduction on massive classical data, while any classical machine achieving the same performance would need exponentially larger size. It shows that classical machines even if exponentially larger still require superpolynomially more samples and time. The authors provide evidence from real‑world applications such as single‑cell RNA sequencing and movie review sentiment analysis, achieving four to six orders of magnitude reduction in size with fewer than 60 logical qubits.
