Watching Quantum Models Think: Hilbert-Space Interpretability in Quantum Transformer Blocks

Deep learning models are powerful but opaque. As quantum machine learning matures, the field faces a defining choice: build quantum models that are equally opaque, or exploit the mathematical structure of quantum mechanics to make them inherently interpretable. We show that the latter is possible. By tracking quantum m...

Physics-Informed Classical and Quantum Neural Networks for One-Dimensional Schrodinger Eigenvalue Problems

The Schrodinger equation in one spatial dimension admits a small set of exactly solvable potentials that serve as natural proving grounds for any new eigenvalue solver. We formulate Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs) and Physics-Informed Quantum Neural Networks (PIQNNs) for the time-independent Schrodinger equati...

Provable Quantum--Classical Separation for Continuous Gibbs Sampling

We prove the first quantum--classical separation for a sampling problem over a continuous domain. For a class of Gibbs states $p\propto e^{-\beta E}$ on the torus $\mathbb{T}^d$ with smooth ($s$-Gevrey) potential and barrier amplitude $\alpha=e^{\beta\Delta}$, where $\Delta = \max E-\min E$, every classical algorithm--...

Guiding Agents of Quantum Games to Equilibrium using Matrix Exponential Fixed-Point Iteration

In recent years, quantum game theory has gained significant attention as a framework for studying decision-making in multi-agent systems using quantum principles. However, computing equilibrium strategies is challenging because the dimension of the joint Hilbert space grows as the product of the players' local dimensio...

Weighted Quantum Signal Processing: Low-Depth Polynomial Approximation with Applications to Kolmogorov-Arnold Networks

Weighted Quantum Signal Processing is introduced, an extension of QSP in which a weight function is assigned to the central rotation operator, which provides a deeper understanding of QSP and yields expressive and parameter-efficient neural architectures, highlighting the potential of WQSP as a scalable primitive for q...

From Trainability Diagnostics to Optimization Claims: Boundaries and Controls in Variational Quantum Optimization

Barren plateau diagnostics characterize whether gradient signal remains available for training, but surviving signal need not translate into successful optimization. We study this trainability--optimization gap at the level of optimizer steps. Treating coefficient-weighted Hamiltonian-term gradients as task-like compon...

Do Quantum Models Scale Like LLMs?

In this work, we study the neural scaling laws of RydbergGPT, an autoregressive transformer model trained on qubit projective measurement data gathered from interacting Rydberg atom arrays. The quantum system is known to exhibit a finite-size remnant of a critical point as the laser detuning parameter is varied. We fin...

A Quantum/Classical Example Oracle Separation for Making Things Up

There are distributions that can be efficiently generated by a quantum learner with access to quantum samples, but not by a quantum learner with access to only classical samples, making progress to answering this question in the affirmative.

Interactive proofs for verifying (quantum) learning and testing

It is proved that a resource-constrained learner cannot gain any advantage through classical interaction with an untrusted prover, and it is shown that for the vast majority of testing and learning problems, a memory-constrained quantum algorithm cannot overcome its limitations via classical communication with a memory...

TetrisCNN for interpretable detection of phases of matter from experimental quantum simulator data

TetrisCNN is introduced, a convolutional architecture with parallel branches of differently shaped filters, reminiscent of Tetris blocks, that learns sparse, interpretable latent representations directly in terms of spin correlators, and opens the way to integrating interpretable neural networks with quantum simulators...

Noise-Robust Quantum State Characterization for Remote State Preparation with Deep Learning

A Transformer-based Quantum State Characterizer model is proposed for noisy RSP experiments that enables accurate tomographic characterization under dynamic noise and provides physically grounded post-hoc insights, holding promise for intelligent quantum information processing applications.

QEncodeBench: Can Large Language Models Encode Classical Problems into Verified Quantum Oracles?

QEncodeBench tasks large language models with encoding classical constraint problems as phase oracles and scores the generated circuits with an adversarially self-validated verifier that decides full solution-set equivalence up to a global phase, with ancillas restored and resource budgets enforced.

What AI gets wrong and what failure teaches us

Jennifer Neville did not want to go into computer science—but that’s exactly where she landed. Neville discusses the starts and stops that led to her professional sweet spot and her work identifying “surprising failures” making it hard for AI to handle complexity.  The post What AI gets wrong and what failure teaches us appeared first on Microsoft Research.

Introducing Quine: An AI research system designed for the complexity of biology

Biology doesn't operate in silos, and neither should the AI representation of it. Quine is an early-stage research effort to create a multimodal world model of biology. By connecting insights across biological scales and modalities, Quine helps scientists computationally search a space far larger than intuition allows and prioritize hypotheses before they reach the lab. Experimental results provide important feedback, helping researchers sharpen future research directions. The post Introducing Q…
