Generative Quantum-inspired Kolmogorov-Arnold EigensolverYu-Cheng Lin, Yu-Chao Hsu, I-Shan Tsai et al.
High-performance computing (HPC) is increasingly important for scalable quantum chemistry workflows that couple classical generative models, quantum circuit simulation, and selected configuration interaction postprocessing. We present the generative quantum-inspired Kolmogorov-Arnold eigensolver (GQKAE), a parameter-efficient extension of the generative quantum eigensolver (GQE) for quantum chemistry. GQKAE replaces the parameter-heavy feed-forward network components in GPT-style generative eigensolvers with hybrid quantum-inspired Kolmogorov-Arnold network modules, forming a compact HQKANsformer backbone. The method preserves autoregressive operator selection and the quantum-selected configuration interaction evaluation pipeline, while using single-qubit DatA Re-Uploading ActivatioN modules to provide expressive nonlinear mappings. Numerical benchmarks on H4, N2, LiH, C2H6, H2O, and the H2O dimer show that GQKAE achieves chemical accuracy comparable to the GPT-based GQE architecture, while reducing trainable parameters and memory by approximately 66% and improving wall-time performance. For strongly correlated systems such as N2 and LiH, GQKAE also improves convergence behavior and final energy errors. These results indicate that quantum-inspired Kolmogorov-Arnold networks can reduce classical-side overhead while preserving circuit-generation quality, offering a scalable route for HPC-quantum co-design on near-term quantum platforms.

Gated QKAN-FWP: Scalable Quantum-inspired Sequence LearningKuo-Chung Peng, Samuel Yen-Chi Chen, Jiun-Cheng Jiang et al.
Fast Weight Programmers (FWPs) encode temporal dependencies through dynamically updated parameters rather than recurrent hidden states. Quantum FWPs (QFWPs) extend this idea with variational quantum circuits (VQCs), but existing implementations rely on multi-qubit architectures that are difficult to scale on noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) devices and expensive to simulate classically. We propose gated QKAN-FWP, a fast-weight framework that integrates FWP with Quantum-inspired Kolmogorov-Arnold Network (QKAN) using single-qubit data re-uploading circuits as learnable nonlinear activation, known as DatA Re-Uploading ActivatioN (DARUAN). We further introduce a scalar-gated fast-weight update rule that stabilizes parameter evolution, supported by a theoretical analysis of its adaptive memory kernel, geometric boundedness, and parallelizable gradient paths. We evaluate the framework across time-series benchmarks, MiniGrid reinforcement learning, and highlight real-world solar cycle forecasting as our main practical result. In the long-horizon setting with 528-month input window and 132-month forecast horizon, our 12.5k-parameter model achieves lower scaled Mean Square Error (MSE), peak amplitude error, and peak timing error than a suite of classical recurrent baselines with up to 13x more parameters, including Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks (25.9k-89.1k parameters), WaveNet-LSTM (167k), Vanilla recurrent neural network (11.5k), and a Modified Echo State Network (132k). To validate NISQ compatibility, we further deploy the trained fast programmer on IonQ and IBM Quantum processors, recovering forecasting accuracy within 0.1% relative MSE of the noiseless simulator at 1024 shots. These results position gated QKAN-FWP as a scalable, parameter-efficient, and NISQ-compatible approach to quantum-inspired sequence modeling.

Multi-GPU-Enabled Hybrid Quantum-Classical Workflow in Quantum-HPC Middleware: Applications in Quantum SimulationsKuan-Cheng Chen, Xiaoren Li, Xiaotian Xu et al.
Achieving high-performance computation on quantum systems presents a formidable challenge that necessitates bridging the capabilities between quantum hardware and classical computing resources. This study introduces an innovative distribution-aware Quantum-Classical-Quantum (QCQ) architecture, which integrates cutting-edge quantum software framework works with high-performance classical computing resources to address challenges in quantum simulation for materials and condensed matter physics. At the heart of this architecture is the seamless integration of VQE algorithms running on QPUs for efficient quantum state preparation, Tensor Network states, and QCNNs for classifying quantum states on classical hardware. For benchmarking quantum simulators, the QCQ architecture utilizes the cuQuantum SDK to leverage multi-GPU acceleration, integrated with PennyLane's Lightning plugin, demonstrating up to tenfold increases in computational speed for complex phase transition classification tasks compared to traditional CPU-based methods. This significant acceleration enables models such as the transverse field Ising and XXZ systems to accurately predict phase transitions with a 99.5% accuracy. The architecture's ability to distribute computation between QPUs and classical resources addresses critical bottlenecks in Quantum-HPC, paving the way for scalable quantum simulation. The QCQ framework embodies a synergistic combination of quantum algorithms, machine learning, and Quantum-HPC capabilities, enhancing its potential to provide transformative insights into the behavior of quantum systems across different scales. As quantum hardware continues to improve, this hybrid distribution-aware framework will play a crucial role in realizing the full potential of quantum computing by seamlessly integrating distributed quantum resources with the state-of-the-art classical computing infrastructure.

Quantum Walks-Based Adaptive Distribution Generation with Efficient CUDA-Q AccelerationYen-Jui Chang, Wei-Ting Wang, Chen-Yu Liu et al.
We present a novel Adaptive Distribution Generator that leverages a quantum walks-based approach to generate high precision and efficiency of target probability distributions. Our method integrates variational quantum circuits with discrete-time quantum walks, specifically, split-step quantum walks and their entangled extensions, to dynamically tune coin parameters and drive the evolution of quantum states towards desired distributions. This enables accurate one-dimensional probability modeling for applications such as financial simulation and structured two-dimensional pattern generation exemplified by digit representations(0~9). Implemented within the CUDA-Q framework, our approach exploits GPU acceleration to significantly reduce computational overhead and improve scalability relative to conventional methods. Extensive benchmarks demonstrate that our Quantum Walks-Based Adaptive Distribution Generator achieves high simulation fidelity and bridges the gap between theoretical quantum algorithms and practical high-performance computation.
