Abstract

Recent advancements in quantum computing highlight the need for efficient encoding of classical data into quantum states to ensure robust quantum information processing. Traditional encoding schemes often impose impractical requirements about the knowledge of quantum states and lack adaptability to noisy quantum channels and broader tasks. To address these limitations, we propose a novel end-to-end learnable quantum transcoding scheme explicitly optimized for compactness and robustness in noisy quantum communication scenarios. Our approach integrates neural network-based data compression with Cholesky decomposition-based quantum encoding and bypasses full density matrix reconstruction. Through normalized quantum observables, our method enables efficient tomography and achieves high reconstruction and classification performance even under extreme noise conditions.

Fidelity-Preserving Quantum Encoding for Quantum Neural Networks

Yuhu Lu, Jinjing Shi

Efficiently encoding classical visual data into quantum states is essential for realizing practical quantum neural networks (QNNs). However, existing encoding schemes often discard spatial and semantic information when adapting high-dimensional images to the limited qubits of Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) devices. We propose a Fidelity-Preserving Quantum Encoding (FPQE) framework that performs near lossless data compression and quantum encoding. FPQE employs a convolutional encoder-decoder to learn compact multi-channel representations capable of reconstructing the original data with high fidelity, which are then mapped into quantum states through amplitude encoding. Experimental results show that FPQE performs comparably to conventional methods on simple datasets such as MNIST, while achieving clear improvements on more complex ones, outperforming PCA and pruning based encodings by up to 10.2\% accuracy on Cifar-10. The performance gain grows with data complexity, demonstrating FPQE's ability to preserve high-level structural information across diverse visual domains. By maintaining fidelity during classical to quantum transformation, FPQE establishes a scalable and hardware efficient foundation for high-quality quantum representation learning.

End-to-End Quantum Semantic Communication with Variational Quantum Neural Networks

Melek Krichen, Nikhitha Nunavath, Riccardo Bassoli +2 more

Quantum-enabled learning is increasingly being explored for future communication and networking applications, including distributed sensing, Internet of Things (IoT), and distributed quantum computing. However, existing approaches often face challenges in scalable inference and efficient information processing. To address these limitations, this paper integrates quantum machine learning (QML) with quantum semantic communication (QSemCom) in an end-to-end learning framework. A classical dataset is first mapped to a low-dimensional feature representation and encoded by a variational quantum transmitter that learns task-relevant semantic features. The resulting features are transmitted through a quantum channel and processed by a receiver to perform a downstream classification task. The proposed framework is evaluated using the MNIST dataset and variational quantum neural networks (QNNs) under ideal and noisy quantum-channel conditions. First, a baseline model is trained over an ideal channel and evaluated under increasing depolarizing noise without retraining. A second set of experiments introduces a trainable receiver QNN and jointly optimizes the transmitter and receiver through end-to-end (E2E) training. The results demonstrate that jointly trained quantum semantic transceivers can adapt the transmitted representation to channel impairments and preserve task-relevant information, highlighting the potential of receiver-aware QML for robust inference in quantum semantic communication.

Quantum-Classical Autoencoder Architectures for End-to-End Radio Communication

Zsolt Tabi, Bence Bakó, Dániel Nagy +4 more

End-to-end radio communication needs to be optimized against noisy channel conditions and other distortion effects. This paper presents a novel concept, a set of hybrid quantum-classical autoencoder architectures with a comprehensive feasibility study using standard encoded radio signals, to evaluate quantum neural network design requirements for the radio context. The hybrid scenarios include single-sided, i.e., quantum encoder (transmitter) or quantum decoder (receiver), as well as fully quantum radio channel autoencoder (transmitter-receiver) systems. We provide detailed formulas for each scenario and validate our model through an extensive set of simulations. Our results demonstrate model robustness and adaptability. Supporting experiments are conducted utilizing 4 and 16 Quadrature Amplitude Modulation schemes and we expect that the model is adaptable to more general encoding schemes. We explore model performance against both additive white Gaussian noise and Rayleigh fading models. Our numerical findings highlight the importance of designing efficient quantum neural network architectures for meeting application performance constraints – including data re-uploading methods, encoding schemes, and core layer structures.

Deep neural network-assisted improvement of quantum compressed sensing tomography

Adriano Macarone Palmieri, Leonardo Zambrano, Maciej Lewenstein +2 more

Abstract Quantum compressed sensing is a fundamental technique for tomographic reconstruction of low-rank density matrices in informationally incomplete scenarios. However, when the available measurement data is insufficient, standard compressed sensing, like other algorithmic estimators such as maximum-likelihood, can yield imprecise or noisy estimates. To mitigate this, we propose a deep neural network-based post-processing to enhance the initial reconstruction. By treating the compressed sensing-estimated quantum state as a noisy input, the network performs a supervised denoising task. After the network is applied, a projection onto the space of feasible density matrices is performed to obtain an improved final state estimation. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our method through numerical experiments. Additionally, we explore iterative application of the inference process to further enhance performance, and we analyze the network’s generalization ability by testing its performance on states and noise models not seen during training.

Here we introduce hybrid quantum-classical au-to encoders for end-to-end radio communication. In the physical layer of classical wireless systems, we study the performance of simulated architectures for standard encoded radio signals over a noisy channel. We implement a hybrid model, where a quantum decoder in the receiver works with a classical encoder in the transmitter part. Besides learning a latent space representation of the input symbols with good robustness against signal degradation, a generalized data re-uploading scheme for the qubit-based circuits allows to meet inference-time constraints of the application.

Quantum Error Correction Encoding and Adaptive Quantum Channel Mapping (QECM)

Jincheng Zhang

This paper presents a novel approach to quantum error correction (QEC) and adaptive quantum channel mapping (QECM) designed to enhance the robustness of quantum information transmission through noisy channels. The core idea is to leverage the redundancy inherent in QEC codes and combine it with a machine learning-based adaptive mapping algorithm. Unlike traditional methods that rely on pre-characterized channel models, this approach dynamically optimizes the QEC encoding and channel mapping strategies based on real-time channel feedback. The system utilizes an error correction matrix derived from the chosen QEC code to construct a quantum channel model. A neural network, specifically a variational quantum neural network (VQNN), is then trained to learn the optimal quantum channel mapping policy. This dynamic optimization addresses the limitations of fixed channel models and promises improved performance in practical quantum communication scenarios. The effectiveness of the QECM framework is demonstrated through theoretical analysis and a conceptual model, paving the way for robust long-distance quantum communication. The system's adaptability allows it to cope with unknown or time-varying channel characteristics, a critical factor for successful quantum communication implementations. The ultimate goal is to achieve efficient and reliable quantum information transfer, regardless of the underlying channel noise.
