DT-QFL: Dual-Timeline Quantum Federated Learning With Time-Symmetric Updates, Temporal Memory Kernels, and Reversed Gradient Dynamics

Abstract: Federated learning has emerged as a powerful paradigm for decentralized model training, ensuring privacy preservation by allowing clients to collaboratively learn a shared model without exchanging raw data. Quantum federated learning (QFL) extends this approach by leveraging quantum computing to enhance computational efficiency and security. However, existing QFL frameworks face challenges in handling temporal […]

Q-Gen: A Parameterized Quantum Circuit Generator

Abstract: Unlike most classical algorithms that take an input and give the solution directly as an output, quantum algorithms produce a quantum circuit that works as an indirect solution to computationally hard problems. In the full quantum computing workflow, most data processing remains in the classical domain except for running the quantum circuit in the […]

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

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 […]

Accurately predicting a quantum computer’s capability—which circuits it can run and how well it can run them—is a foundational goal of quantum characterization and benchmarking. As modern quantum computers become increasingly hard to simulate, we must develop accurate and scalable predictive capability models to help researchers and stakeholders decide which quantum computers to build and […]
