Multi-Path Parallel Quantum Convolutional Neural Network

Han Qi, Xintong Huo, Abdullah Gani

Quantum Convolutional Neural Networks (QCNN) migrate the convolution and pooling concepts of classical Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) to variational quantum circuits, showing potential on Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) devices. However, traditional QCNN adopts a single-depth circuit structure, which has limitations in multi-scale feature extraction, and is prone to the barren plateau phenomenon during training, making it difficult to adapt to high-dimensional real-world scenarios such as network intrusion detection. This paper proposes a QCNN architecture based on a multi-path parallel structure. For the network intrusion detection task, it draws on the Inception module to construct three parallel quantum convolution paths: shallow, medium, and deep, achieving hierarchical extraction of multi-scale features; residual connections are introduced to preserve encoded state information and provide gradient shortcuts; a hybrid optimization strategy combining classical Adam and Quantum Natural Gradient (QNG) is adopted to adapt to the heterogeneous parameter space. Experimental validation shows that, on the UNSW-NB15 network intrusion detection dataset, the proposed Multi-Path Parallel Quantum Convolutional Neural Network (MP-QCNN) improves detection accuracy by 3% compared to traditional single-path QCNN and effectively mitigates the barren plateau phenomenon. This design strictly maintains NISQ depth constraints and quantum parallelism advantages, providing an efficient and stable feature extraction framework for high-dimensional tasks such as network intrusion detection.

Utilizing Quantum Variational Circuits to Perform Quantum Convolutions in Hybrid "Quanvolutional" Neural Networks for Skin Cancer Detection

Idhant Gode, Haiyan Wang, David Liang

Cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Mutations in humans can alter oncogenes or tumor suppressor genes, leading to uncontrolled cell growth. The most common form of cancer is skin cancer which if caught early, is much easier to treat, highlighting the importance of a sophisticated skin cancer detection system. In this study, we propose a novel method to detect skin cancer early, utilizing quantum variational circuits to perform a quantum convolution as a pre-processing step on image data for classical Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) to create a hybrid "Quanvolutional" Neural Network. Utilizing a dataset of over 8,100 images which included images of other skin conditions including Herpes Simplex, Burns, Xerosis, folliculitis, and more, our model obtained a validation accuracy of 99.30% for the classification of Skin Cancer. This performance surpasses that of similar, purely classical CNNs, despite the presence of noise from other skin conditions. Our study not only demonstrates significant potential for skin cancer detection, but also the efficiency and effectiveness of quantum pre-processing layers in hybrid Quanvolutional Neural Networks. Future work can utilize our Quantum Machine Learning methods, leading to further breakthroughs within the medical field and quantum computing as a whole.
