QSTAR: Quantum Selective Transfer with Adaptive Routing

Quantum transfer learning (QTL) is often evaluated by replacing a classical classifier with a fixed variational quantum head, but this hides a key question: when is the quantum branch actually useful? We propose QSTAR: Quantum Selective Transfer with Adaptive Routing, a selective QTL framework that keeps high-confidenc...

GRPO-QPS: Target-Preserving Reinforcement Learning for Quantum Posterior Sampling

GRPO-QPS is introduced, a target-preserving framework in which GRPO learns proposal behavior and an exact Metropolis correction preserves the posterior after training, which combines target-preserving Bayesian inference with broad gains over learned transport baselines and a sampling advantage when efficient exploratio...

Tensorization is a powerful but underexplored tool for compression and interpretability of neural networks

Tensorizing a neural network involves reshaping some or all of its dense weight matrices into higher-order tensors and approximating them using low-rank tensor network decompositions. This technique has shown promise as a model compression strategy for large-scale neural networks. However, despite encouraging empirical...

Proving olympiad geometry theorems on a superconducting quantum processor

Automated theorem proving seeks to use computational systems to prove or disprove mathematical and logical statements [1, 2]. It underpins a wide range of applications, and enhancing theorem-proving capabilities remains a central objective in artificial intelligence [3]. Although recent neuro-symbolic systems have achi...

Classical and quantum kernel fusion for two-sample testing

A hypothetical test which can be effective even for small datasets, based on the theoretical foundation of kernel-based tests using maximum mean discrepancy, is constructed, called MMD-FUSE, and a novel hybrid testing strategy that fuses classical and quantum kernels is proposed.

Trainability-Oriented Hybrid Quantum Regression via Geometric Preconditioning and Curriculum Optimization

Quantum neural networks (QNNs) have attracted growing interest for scientific machine learning, yet in regression settings they often suffer from limited trainability under noisy gradients and ill-conditioned optimization. We propose a hybrid quantum--classical regression framework designed to mitigate these bottleneck...

LLM Compression by Block Removal with Constrained Binary Optimization

This paper forms the compression of large language models (LLMs) by optimally deleting transformer blocks (``block removal'') as a constrained binary optimization (CBO) problem that can be mapped to a physical system (Ising glass), whose energies are a strong proxy for downstream model performance.

Four Generations of Quantum Biomedical Sensors

Quantum sensing technologies offer transformative potential for ultra-sensitive biomedical sensing, yet their clinical translation remains constrained by classical noise limits and a reliance on macroscopic ensembles. We propose a unifying generational framework to organize the evolving landscape of quantum biosensors...

Bayesian quantum sensing using graybox machine learning

Quantum sensors offer significant advantages over classical devices in spatial resolution and sensitivity, enabling transformative applications across materials science, healthcare, and beyond. Their practical performance, however, is often constrained by unmodelled effects, including noise, imperfect state preparation...

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…
