Quantum-Assisted Optimization and Security for Trustworthy AI-Driven Healthcare

Abstract: Digital health increasingly relies on artificial intelligence for clinical decision-making, patient management, and distributed learning, yet two persistent challenges remain: the computational complexity of optimization tasks, such as operating-room scheduling and genomic feature selection, and the need for robust security in federated and Internet-of-Medical-Things (IoMT) systems that are vulnerable to poisoning and spoofing attacks.

QATNet: A Lightweight Quantum-Classical Tabular Network for Low-Latency Intrusion Detection

Abstract: Modern communication environments ranging from smart mobility infrastructures to digitally integrated healthcare systems demand adaptable and trustworthy network security. In this situation, Software-Defined Networks (SDNs) play a vital role by providing programmable control and global visibility, enabling rapid policy updates and fine-grained traffic management. As a result, the need for efficient and interpretable intrusion […]

Beyond asymptotic scaling: Comparing functional quantum linear solvers

Abstract: Solving systems of linear equations is a key subroutine in many quantum algorithms. In the last 15 years, many quantum linear solvers (QLS) have been developed, competing to achieve the best asymptotic worst-case complexity. Most QLS assume fault-tolerant quantum computers, so they cannot yet be benchmarked on real hardware. Because an algorithm with better […]

Optimal Allocation of Pauli Measurements for Low-Rank Quantum State Tomography

Abstract: The process of reconstructing quantum states from experimental measurements, accomplished through quantum state tomography (QST), plays a crucial role in verifying and benchmarking quantum devices. A key challenge of QST is to find out how the accuracy of the reconstruction depends on the number of state copies used in the measurements. When multiple measurement […]

Combined Physical- and Link-Layer Protocols for Quantum Networks

Abstract: Future communication systems are expected to integrate quantum networks to enable highly secure communication and enhance computational capabilities. In quantum networks, communication is accomplished by sharing entanglement between remote locations, which is the basis for most known quantum protocols. Entanglement is a correlation between qubits that is not reproducible with classical means. However, as […]

Improved Belief Propagation Decoding Algorithms for Surface Codes

Abstract: Quantum error correction is crucial for universal fault-tolerant quantum computing. Highly accurate and low-time-complexity decoding algorithms play an indispensable role in ensuring quantum error correction works effectively. Among existing decoding algorithms, belief propagation (BP) is notable for its nearly linear time complexity and general applicability to stabilizer codes. However, BP’s decoding accuracy without postprocessing […]

Analysis of Parameterized Quantum Circuits: On the Connection Between Expressibility and Types of Quantum Gates

Abstract: Expressibility is a crucial factor of a parameterized quantum circuit (PQC). In the context of variational-quantum-algorithm-based quantum machine learning (QML), a QML model composed of a highly expressible PQC and a sufficient number of qubits is theoretically capable of approximating any arbitrary continuous function. While much research has explored the relationship between expressibility and […]

Improving Probabilistic Error Cancellation in the Presence of Nonstationary Noise

In this article, we investigate the stability of probabilistic error cancellation (PEC) outcomes in the presence of nonstationary noise, which is an obstacle to achieving accurate observable estimates. Leveraging Bayesian methods, we design a strategy to enhance PEC stability and accuracy. Our experiments using a five-qubit implementation of the Bernstein–Vazirani algorithm and conducted on the […]
