Quantum machine learning consists in taking advantage of quantum computations to generate classical data. A potential application of quantum machine learning is to harness the power of quantum computers for generating classical data, a process essential to a multitude of applications such as enriching training datasets, anomaly detection, and risk management in finance. Given the success of Generative Adversarial Networks in classical image generation, the development of its quantum versions has been actively conducted. However, existing implementations on quantum computers often face significant challenges, such as scalability and training convergence issues. To address these issues, we propose LatentQGAN, a novel quantum model that uses a hybrid quantum-classical GAN coupled with an autoencoder. Although it was initially designed for image generation, the LatentQGAN approach holds potential for broader application across various practical data generation tasks. Experimental outcomes on both classical simulators and noisy intermediate scale quantum computers have demonstrated significant performance enhancements over existing quantum methods, alongside a significant reduction in quantum resources overhead.

Forecasting in probabilistic time series is a complex endeavor that extends beyond predicting future values to also quantifying the uncertainty inherent in these predictions. Gaussian process regression stands out as a Bayesian machine learning technique adept at addressing this multifaceted challenge. This paper introduces a novel approach that blends the robustness of this Bayesian technique with the nuanced insights provided by the kernel perspective on quantum models, aimed at advancing quantum kernelized probabilistic forecasting. We incorporate a quantum feature map inspired by Ising interactions and demonstrate its effectiveness in capturing the temporal dependencies critical for precise forecasting. The optimization of our model's hyperparameters circumvents the need for computationally intensive gradient descent by employing gradient-free Bayesian optimization. Comparative benchmarks against established classical kernel models are provided, affirming that our quantum-enhanced approach achieves competitive performance.

The broadcast nature of wireless channels exposes radio-frequency (RF) networks to anomalous and malicious transmissions, making anomaly detection a fundamental requirement for secure spectrum management. Quantum Kitchen Sinks (QKS) offer a lightweight hybrid quantum feature map suitable for near-term quantum devices, yet their behavior on structured signal data remains poorly understood. In this paper, we extend the standard QKS template with multi-depth data re-uploading and ring entanglement, and evaluate the resulting pipeline on controlled RF spectrogram anomaly detection. We introduce a validation-locked five-stage ablation protocol that systematically separates the effects of shallow architecture, re-uploading depth, episode budget, input representation, and classical readout. Across the completed benchmark, Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) representations consistently dominate raw and Principal Component Analysis (PCA) inputs, moderate-depth entangled QKS configurations form the strongest operating regime, and QKS improves over matched classical direct-readout baselines across all evaluated representation-readout pairs on the held-out test set, with the best configuration reaching a test Area Under the Receiver Operating Characteristic curve (AUROC) of 0.8778 and a test F1 of 0.7995. The study bridges two levels of realism: real measured sub-6\,GHz cellular signals on the data side and real-device validation on the ibm_quebec Quantum Processing Unit (QPU) on the computing side, with AUROC deviations below 0.013 relative to simulation. These results provide a practical, reproducible framework for deploying QKS-based anomaly detection in wireless networks.
