QFedAstro: Quantum-Enhanced Federated Learning with Adaptive Mission Intelligence for Astronaut Health Monitoring

Shhaurya Jaiswal

Deep-space medical surveillance necessitates decentralized AI frameworks that are resilient to communication latency and resource scarcity. This study introduces QFedAstro, which integrates variational quantum circuits with federated learning for astronaut health anomaly detection across heterogeneous mission profiles. The architecture employs five synergistic modules: quantum-classical hybrid optimization (QCHO) navigating non-convex loss landscapes via superposition-inspired parameter updates; adaptive mission intelligence networks (AMIN) reconfiguring layer weights based on gravity-radiation-isolation vectors; temporal-spatial health embedding (TSHE) capturing physiological interdependencies through graph attention; privacy-preserving biometric fusion (PPBF) applying mission-calibrated differential noise (ϵ = 0.5, δ = 10 -5 ); and cross-mission knowledge crystallization (CMKC) enabling inter-environment transfer learning. Validation across 150-astronaut simulations spanning ISS, Lunar, Martian, and Deep Space contexts yields 96.73% accuracy—2.61% above centralized baselines—while achieving 147x privacy amplification and 68% bandwidth reduction. Paired t-tests confirmed significance (p < 0.001, Cohen’s d = 2.41). The framework challenges conventional privacy-utility tradeoffs, demonstrating that quantum augmentation enables the concurrent optimization of fidelity and sovereignty in mission-critical federated systems.

QPDS-VII: Adaptive Photonic Gateway (APG): A Conceptual Operational Interface for QIRV Deep-Space Missions

Akbarzadeh Alireza

This paper presents a conceptual theoretical framework for the Adaptive Photonic Gateway (APG), proposed as a localized operational interface within the conceptual QIRV architecture of the Quantum Photonic Data System (QPDS). The APG is introduced as a non-mechanical photonic gateway designed for three primary conceptual functions: • Deployment of reconstructed operators.• Localized interaction scanning.• Initial communication with nearby intelligent observers. Within the proposed QPDS framework, the APG is not considered a physical airlock or conventional spacecraft door. Instead, it represents a theoretical photonic operational interface intended for future deep-space exploration missions involving reconstructed human operators. This work is entirely conceptual and does not describe an existing technology or experimentally validated system. Its purpose is to stimulate interdisciplinary discussion regarding future operational architectures for advanced space exploration. This publication is part of the QPDS (Quantum Photonic Data System) conceptual research series.

A Near-Term Quantum Computing Approach for Hard Computational Problems in Space Exploration

Vadim Smelyanskiy, Eleanor Gilbert Rieffel, Sergey Knysh +5 more

In this article, we show how to map a sampling of the hardest artificial intelligence problems in space exploration onto equivalent Ising models that then can be attacked using quantum annealing implemented in D-Wave machine. We overview the existing results as well as propose new Ising model implementations for quantum annealing. We review supervised and unsupervised learning algorithms for classification and clustering with applications to feature identification and anomaly detection. We introduce algorithms for data fusion and image matching for remote sensing applications. We overview planning problems for space exploration mission applications and algorithms for diagnostics and recovery with applications to deep space missions. We describe combinatorial optimization algorithms for task assignment in the context of autonomous unmanned exploration. Finally, we discuss the ways to circumvent the limitation of the Ising mapping using a "blackbox" approach based on ideas from probabilistic computing. In this article we describe the architecture of the D-Wave One machine and report its benchmarks. Results on random ensemble of problems in the range of up to 96 qubits show improved scaling for median core quantum annealing time compared with classical algorithms; whether this scaling persists for larger problem sizes is an open question. We also review previous results of D-Wave One benchmarking studies for solving binary classification problems with a quantum boosting algorithm which is shown to outperform AdaBoost. We review quantum algorithms for structured learning for multi-label classification and introduce a hybrid classical/quantum approach for learning the weights. Results of D-Wave One benchmarking studies for learning structured labels on four different data sets show a better performance compared with an independent Support Vector Machine approach with linear kernel.
