The Quantum Shortcut: Complex Phase-State Dynamics Reduce the Optimization Steps of Sequence Models
This paper studies a complex-valued alternative drawn from the mathematics of quantum theory, in which information is carried by the phases of the state and scores are quadratic Born forms, and instantiate it in the Mamba state-space model and an attention-based Transformer.
