Latent Style-based Quantum Wasserstein GAN for Drug Design

Read the original on arXiv AI →

The paper introduces a latent style-based quantum Wasserstein GAN (QGAN) for drug design, integrating a variational autoencoder with a hybrid quantum GAN to generate molecular structures. The QGAN employs style-based noise reuploading and a Wasserstein gradient penalty to enhance trainability and reduce mode collapse, achieving comparable performance to classical models while using far fewer trainable parameters. Experiments on noiseless simulators and an IBM Heron quantum computer demonstrate the model’s capability to sample thousands of new molecules and reveal quantum noise effects.

Quantum Fidelity Landscape-Guided Prior Calibration for Single-Circuit QGAN Image Generation

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.

A Controlled Benchmark of Quantum-Latent GAN Augmentation for Brain MRI

Medical image classification is often constrained by limited labeled data, motivating generative augmentation; recently, quantum generative models have been proposed for this purpose, frequently reporting accuracy gains. However, such claims are typically based on single training runs, do not match the parameter budgets of the quantum and classical generators, and do not characterize the data regime in which any benefit appears.

TabularQGAN: A quantum generative model for tabular data synthesis

The paper introduces TabularQGAN, a quantum generative adversarial network designed to synthesize tabular data with both categorical and numerical features. It proposes flexible data encoding and a novel quantum circuit ansatz, and evaluates the model on MIMIC‑III and Adult Census datasets, benchmarking against classical methods such as CTGAN, CopulaGAN, VAE‑GMM, and an LLM‑based approach. Results from noiseless statevector simulations show competitive or leading performance in overall similarity scores and demonstrate strong generalization through custom metrics.
