Variational Quantum Transformer Architecture for Synthetic Language Generation

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 16, 2026 · UTC

We propose a compact NISQ-compatible quantum transformer architecture for synthetic QNLP sequence modelling. The model preserves the autoregressive next-token interface of a classical transformer, but replaces attention and feed-forward sublayers with variational quantum encoder blocks, connector circuits, decoder blocks and a direct two-qubit measurement readout. Token contexts are angle-encoded into small quantum registers, processed by parallel variational heads and encoder integration circuits and conditioned through decoder ancillae to produce a distribution over a four-token vocabulary.
