Abstract

The practical use of quantum generative models has been limited to scalability issues and noise in the hardware used to implement the model in versions, however quantum generative models have demonstrated to be useful in learning accurate data distributions that are hard to predict, including complex aspects of semantic information, art, naturalistic data, speech, electrodynamic quantum systems, among others. The paper suggests a generative assessable and noisy hybrid quantum AI quantification and suggests mixing adaptive quantum circuit design, error- Delhi trained, and multi-computer running. The adaptive circuit design minimizes the two-qubit gate interactions that enhances robustness and is still expressive. The mistake-conscious training is dynamically optimized to adjust circuit parameters to noise calibration at a constant-time, thus allowing it to operate stably with gate error rates up to 0.12%. To manage scalability, generative computation is spread among a number of relatively small quantum processors by the framework, with an almost linear scaling efficiency. On IBM quantum hardware, the model is demonstrated and validated on three applications; synthetic data generation to boost machine learning, medical image synthesis, and molecular structure generation to discover drugs. Findings indicate that quantum resource consumption is cut down by about 35 percent without compromising the generative quality, which proves that quantum-assisted AI systems can be used in the near future.

Quantum-classical generative models for machine learning

Marcello Benedetti

The combination of quantum and classical computational resources towards more effective algorithms is one of the most promising research directions in computer science. In such a hybrid framework, existing quantum computers can be used to their fullest extent and for practical applications. Generative modeling is one of the applications that could benefit the most, either by speeding up the underlying sampling methods or by unlocking more general models. In this work, we design a number of hybrid generative models and validate them on real hardware and datasets. The quantum-assisted Boltzmann machine is trained to generate realistic artificial images on quantum annealers. Several challenges in state-of-the-art annealers shall be overcome before one can assess their actual performance. We attack some of the most pressing challenges such as the sparse qubit-to-qubit connectivity, the unknown effective-temperature, and the noise on the control parameters. In order to handle datasets of realistic size and complexity, we include latent variables and obtain a more general model called the quantum-assisted Helmholtz machine. In the context of gate-based computers, the quantum circuit Born machine is trained to encode a target probability distribution in the wavefunction of a set of qubits. We implement this model on a trapped ion computer using low-depth circuits and native gates. We use the generative modeling performance on the canonical Bars-and-Stripes dataset to design a benchmark for hybrid systems. It is reasonable to expect that quantum data, i.e., datasets of wavefunctions, will become available in the future. We derive a quantum generative adversarial network that works with quantum data. Here, two circuits are optimized in tandem: one tries to generate suitable quantum states, the other tries to distinguish between target and generated states.

Quantum Diffusion Models for Generative AI towards real-world applications

Marco Parigi

Generative Artificial Intelligence is one of the most relevant technologies of our century, enabling digital machines not only to analyze or classify data but also to generate new content such as images, text, and video. This technology relies on deep learning algorithms designed to capture complex relationships from finite data sets. In this context, Diffusion Models have recently emerged as state-of-the-art in deep generative modeling thanks to their ability to produce high-quality data. Their pipeline typically consists of a forward diffusion process, where data samples are progressively corrupted into pure (classical) noise, and a reverse denoising process, where deep neural networks learn to reverse the diffusion process and then generate new synthetic samples. In parallel, Quantum Machine Learning represents one of the most promising applications of quantum computing. However, currently available quantum processors, known as Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) devices, are composed of tens or hundreds of noisy qubits. Therefore, designing scalable and efficient practical quantum algorithms represents a significant challenge. This thesis proposes the first generalization of classical Denoising Diffusion Probabilistic Models to the quantum domain, introducing the novel generative paradigm of Quantum Diffusion Models. In particular, the three possible scenarios are formalized and implemented: (i) classical data corrupted with Gaussian noise and a reverse process implemented via a quantum neural network; (ii) quantum data corrupted with quantum noise and a denoising process through a classical deep neural network; and (iii) a fully quantum approach, where both forward and backward processes are implemented within a quantum framework. Subsequently, the impact of different stochastic dynamics in the forward process is analyzed using the formalism of Quantum Stochastic Walks. We observe that a specific hybrid quantum-classical dynamics produces more statistically robust models, capable of generating sets of images closely resembling real ones compared to purely classical dynamics. Furthermore, we propose a hybrid quantum-classical diffusion model based on Quantum Walks that exploits the intrinsic noise of real quantum processors as a useful resource for generating images. This model is implementable on current NISQ devices and scalable, as it allows the generation of images of any size, requiring q + 1 qubits for grayscale images with pixel intensities in the range [0, 2^q - 1]. Finally, an application in the context of medical imaging is presented, specifically the generation of 64 × 64 color images of blood cells from the BloodMNIST dataset and 200 × 200 brain MRI images from the BraTS2020 dataset.

Hybrid quantum-classical adaptive intelligence framework for real-time optimization in noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) systems

Kondamudi Kondamudi

The hardware noise and drift, combined with the fragility of stationary hybrid algorithms like the variational quantum eigensolver (VQE), limit the usefulness of noise quantum advantage accessed through Noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) processors, but allow near-term quantum advantage. In this paper, a Hybrid Quantum-Classical Adaptive Intelligence Framework is suggested, which bridges the gap between quantum hardware, a parameterized quantum circuit, explicit error-mitigation routines, and a controller trained through learning. The quantum subsystem prepares variational states and calculates the expectation values of the problem Hamiltonian, and an AI/ML model approximates an online noise probability signal and moves an optimizer based on reinforcement learning (RL). The RL policy chooses the parameter updates and enables mitigation measures depending on noise-sensitive state functions, such as energy, gradient norm, and estimated noise level. It was demonstrated experimentally using a simulated NISQ-style molecular Hamiltonian that the adaptive controller can reduce the error in the absolute ground state of the system by about 52.8 percent versus a standard static VQE baseline using the same ansatz. The integrated classifier that drives the process of mitigation is accurate with 97 percent accuracy, 100 percent precision, 92 percent recall, 95.9 F1-score, and 99.5 AUC, which shows reliable decision-making with minimal false alarms. All these findings indicate that the close-knit quantum-classical adaptivity can significantly contribute to the robustness and accuracy of VQE-like workloads on NISQ and serve as a scalable template to design noise-aware hybrid algorithms in the future.

Machine Learning with Hybrid Quantum-Classical Approaches: Exploring the Limits of Quantum Computing in Artificial Intelligence

M S N V Lakshmi Kantham A, Abdelhalim Mohammad Jubran, Sorabh Lakhanpal +3 more

The entwining of quantum computing with classical machine learning has proven to be one of the most promising frontiers of artificial intelligence, as it possesses the potential to speed up intricate computations in ways that classical systems will never be able to achieve. This study delves into the theoretical and practical implications of hybrid quantum-classical approaches in machine learning, while also examining their advantages, limitations, and applicability in different domains. Utilizing quantum entanglement and parallelism, hybrid solutions also have the potential to process high-dimensional data, optimize complex functions, and facilitate pattern recognition tasks more efficiently. However, noise, decoherence, and limited qubit connectivity on current hardware pose considerable barriers to practical implementations. The authors discuss hybrid architectures like quantum-enhanced optimizers and variational quantum circuits which include classical pre- and post-processing to alleviate quantum limitations. Moreover, a comparative study is performed to show the effectiveness of hybrid models comparing with classical machine learning state-of-the-art in natural language processing, computer vision and financial modeling. Results indicate that although hybrid quantum–classical approaches provide significant gains in optimization and computational efficiency; these benefits remain limited by hardware limitations and the scalability of quantum algorithms. With these considerations in mind, the paper offers guidance for targeting future research directions in quantum machine learning, including advances in quantum error correction, quantum hardware scalability, and new algorithmic approaches. Additional advancements needed and notably, the study focused on a smaller representation of data Since quantum computing is relatively new and researchers are still exploring its application, it is still early days in terms of machine learning models that are solely, intrinsically quantum.

Quantum AI: Harnessing the Power of Quantum Computing for Scalable and Adaptive Learning

Samuel Yen-Chi Chen

Quantum Machine Learning (QML) is rapidly emerging as a frontier field, combining quantum computing and artificial intelligence to address fundamental challenges in learning scalability and adaptability. This paper explores how the principles of quantum mechanics can be harnessed-particularly through variational quantum circuits (VQCs)-to design efficient QML architectures suitable for noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) devices. We present recent advancements including Quantum Federated Learning (QFL) for privacy-preserving distributed intelligence, Quantum Long Short-Term Memory (QL-STM) networks for sequential pattern modeling, and Quantum Reinforcement Learning (QRL) for dynamic decision-making. Furthermore, we introduce the Quantum Fast Weight Programmer (QFWP), a mechanism for rapid, context-driven parameter adaptation to support meta-learning in quantum systems. We also discuss differentiable quantum architecture search (DiffQAS) as a means of automatically optimizing quantum circuit structures. Despite limitations in quantum hardware-such as decoherence, noise, and limited qubit counts-we review mitigation strategies including hybrid quantum-classical training, error-aware optimization, and scalable architectural design. This work outlines a forward-looking framework for building scalable, adaptive, and trustworthy Quantum AI systems.
