Quantum Natural Language Processing: A Comprehensive Survey of Models, Architectures, and Evaluation Methods

Quantum Natural Language Processing (QNLP) is an emerging interdisciplinary field at the intersection of quantum computing, natural language understanding, and formal linguistic theory. As advances in quantum hardware and algorithms accelerate, QNLP promises new paradigms for representation learning, semantic modeling, and efficient computation. However, existing literature remains fragmented, with no unified synthesis across modeling, encoding, and evaluation dimensions.In this work, we present the first systematic and taxonomy driven survey of QNLP that holistically organizes research spanning three core dimensions: computational models, encoding paradigms, and evaluation frameworks. First, we analyze foundational approaches that map linguistic structures into quantum formalism, including categorical compositional models, variational quantum circuits, and hybrid quantum classical architectures. Second, we introduce a unified taxonomy of encoding strategies, ranging from quantum tokenization and state preparation to embedding based encodings, highlighting tradeoffs in scalability, noise resilience, and expressiveness. Third, we provide the first comparative synthesis of evaluation methodologies, benchmark datasets, and performance metrics, while identifying reproducibility and standardization gaps.We further contrast quantum inspired NLP methods with fully quantum implemented systems, offering insights into resource efficiency, hardware feasibility, and real world applicability. Finally, we outline open challenges such as integration with LLMs and unified benchmark design, and propose a research agenda for advancing QNLP as a scalable and reliable discipline.

Quantum-Aware Large Language Models: Taxonomy, Architectures, and Future Applications

Reyhan Dede

The convergence of quantum computing and large language models (LLMs) represents a major milestone in computational intelligence, introducing novel paradigms for information processing, complexity modeling, and scientific advancement. This survey provides a comprehensive overview of the emerging interdisciplinary field that integrates quantum mechanics with natural language processing. We begin by presenting the foundational principles of quantum computing and LLMs, then examine their integration through automated quantum code generation, hybrid transformer architectures, and quantum natural language processing (QNLP) frameworks. State-of-the-art models, such as quantum-augmented attention mechanisms and circuit embedding strategies, are evaluated across domain-specific datasets and benchmarks. We also investigate the role of LLMs as quantum research assistants, educational tools, and simulation agents, particularly in resource-constrained environments. Furthermore, the survey explores challenges related to scalability, interpretability, and quantum data encoding, and outlines future research directions-especially the vision for fully quantum-native LLMs. Our goal is to guide researchers through the current landscape and to encourage continued exploration at the intersection of quantum technologies and advanced language models.
