Quantum Squeeze-and-Excitation Networks: Harnessing Quantum Noise for Robust Attention Mechanisms in Hybrid Architectures

June 25, 2026Yifeng Peng, Xinyi Li, Ying WangEarly Access, Open AccessArchitecture, Computer architecture, Computers, Modeling, Modules (abstract algebra), Noise, Quantum computing, Qubit, Stars, Topology

Abstract: By simulating the selective focus characteristics of human visual attention, the attention network has greatly improved the model’s ability to capture key features, promoting significant progress in natural language processing, computer vision and other fields. As a typical attention mechanism, the Squeeze-and-Excitation (SE) module finely adjusts the feature representation of the neural network by […]

Perfect Quantum Teleportation in Memory Amplitude-Damping Channels Based on Pre-flipping and Environment-Assisted Measurement

May 19, 2026Shiye Zhang, Sajede Harraz, Sen Kuang, Shuang CongEarly Access, Open AccessDamping, Electro-absorption modulators, Measurement, Memory, Noise, Probability, Protocols, Quantum communication, Qubit, Teleportation

Abstract: Most existing quantum teleportation schemes do not consider the memory effect of noise, which is becoming increasingly serious in practical quantum communication. In this paper, we propose two quantum teleportation protocols for noisy memory channels: one based on pre-flipping (PF) and another incorporating pre-flipping with environment-assisted measurement (PF-EAM). In the PF protocol, a pre-flipping […]

Extrapolating Pauli Checks for Expectation Value Estimation on Noisy Quantum Devices

May 13, 2026Quinn Langfitt, Ji Liu, Benchen Huang, Alvin Gonzales, Kaitlin N. Smith, Nikos Hardavellas, Zain H. SaleemEarly Access, Open AccessCircuits, Error analysis, Estimation, Extrapolation, Limiting, Measurement, Modeling, Noise, Qubit, Shadow mapping

Abstract: Pauli Check Sandwiching (PCS) is an error detection scheme that protects quantum circuits by inserting pairs of parity checks and discarding runs that signal errors. However, each additional check introduces noise and exponentially increases sampling costs. To address these limitations, we propose Pauli Check Extrapolation (PCE), an error mitigation technique that obtains measured expectation […]

Abstract: To address the challenge posed by noise in real quantum devices, quantum error mitigation techniques play a crucial role. These techniques are resource-efficient, making them suitable for implementation in noisy intermediate-scale quantum devices, unlike the more resource-intensive quantum error correction codes. A notable example of such a technique is Clifford Data Regression, which employs […]

Abstract: In this article, we introduce a continuous-variable quantum key distribution (CVQKD) protocol that combines orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing with terahertz (THz) carriers to deliver high-throughput and hardware-compatible quantum communication. By distributing quantum states across multiple subcarriers, our approach achieves a noticeable increase in spectral efficiency while mitigating dispersion and atmospheric losses that limit the performance […]

Abstract: Quantum sensing holds great promise for high-precision magnetic field measurements. However, its performance is significantly limited by noise. The investigation of active quantum error correction to address this noise led to the Hamiltonian-not-in-Lindblad-span (HNLS) condition. This states that the Heisenberg scaling is achievable if and only if the signal Hamiltonian is orthogonal to the […]

Abstract: Inspired by the Fleming–Viot stochastic process, we propose a parallel implementation with restart of variational quantum algorithms, with the aim of reducing the time spent by the algorithm in barren plateaus where the optimization direction is unclear. In the Fleming–Viot tradition, parallel searches are called particles. In the proposed approach, the search by a […]

Abstract: We propose a quantum rotation diversity (QRD) scheme for optical quantum communication using binary phase-shift-keying displaced squeezed states and homodyne detection over Gamma–Gamma turbulence channels. Consecutive temporal modes are coupled by a passive orthogonal rotation that redistributes the displacement amplitude between slots, yielding a diversity order of two under independent fading and joint maximum-likelihood […]

Abstract: We study an architecture for fault-tolerant measurement-based quantum computation (FT-MBQC) over optically-networked trapped-ion modules. The architecture is implemented with a finite number of modules and ions per module, and leverages photonic interactions for generating remote entanglement between modules and local Coulomb interactions for intra-modular entangling gates. We focus on generating the topologically protected Raussendorf–Harrington–Goyal […]
