Quantum Algorithm for Distributed Reduction of Entanglements (QADR): A Trainable and Simulation-Efficient QML Framework

arXiv:2606. 01291v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Training Variational Quantum Circuits (VQCs) under Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) constraints introduces severe computational limitations: classical statevector simulation memory scales exponentially ($\mathcal{O}(2^n)$), and global cost functions suffer from barren plateaus where gradient variance decays exponentially ($\mathcal{O}(1/2^n)$).

KnowledgeBerg: Evaluating Systematic Knowledge Coverage and Compositional Reasoning in Large Language Models

arXiv:2604. 17621v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Many real-world questions appear deceptively simple yet implicitly demand two capabilities: (i) systematic coverage of a bounded knowledge universe and (ii) compositional set-based reasoning over that universe, a phenomenon we term "the tip of the iceberg.
