QiT: Quantum-Inspired Transformer for Visual Recognition Task

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 15, 2026 · UTC

Quantum machine learning offers a compelling representational perspective: angle-encoded states inhabit Hilbert spaces in which periodic similarities and interactions can be expressed naturally. Realizing this perspective for visual recognition remains difficult, however, because present quantum neural networks are constrained by limited qubit counts, costly circuit simulation and measurement, noise, and unstable optimization on noisy intermediate-scale quantum devices. We investigate whether useful structural ideas from quantum models can instead be realized as scalable classical Transformer
