🚀 New Paper on arXiv! I’m excited to share our latest work: “Learning to Program Quantum Measurements for Machine Learning” 📌 arXiv: https://lnkd.in/euRhBQJM 👥 With Huan-Hsin Tseng (Brookhaven National Lab), Hsin-Yi Lin (Seton Hall University), and Shinjae Yoo (BNL) In this paper, we challenge a long-standing limitation in quantum machine learning: static measurements. Most QML models rely on fixed observables (e.g., Pauli-Z), limiting the expressivity of the output space. We take this one step further--by making the quantum observable (Hermitian matrix) a learnable, input-conditioned component, programmed dynamically by a neural network. 🧠 Our approach integrates: 1. A Fast Weight Programmer (FWP) that generates both VQC rotation parameters and quantum observables 2. A differentiable, end-to-end architecture for measurement programming 3. A geometric formulation based on Hermitian fiber bundles to describe quantum measurements over data manifolds 🧪 Experiments on noisy datasets (make_moons, make_circles, and high-dimensional classification) show that our dual-generator model outperforms all traditional baselines—achieving faster convergence, higher accuracy, and stronger generalization even under severe noise. We believe this work opens the door to adaptive quantum measurements and paves the way toward more expressive and robust QML models. If you're working on QML, differentiable quantum programming, or quantum meta-learning, I’d love to connect! #QuantumMachineLearning #QuantumComputing #QML #FastWeightProgrammer #DifferentiableQuantumProgramming #arXiv #HybridAI #AI #Quantum

NVIDIA’s launch of "Ising" marks the introduction of the world’s first open-source #AI model family purpose-built for #quantum #computing workflows. The platform targets two of the most critical bottlenecks in quantum systems—processor calibration and real-time error correction—by embedding AI directly into quantum control loops. Released across developer ecosystems (GitHub, Hugging Face) and integrated with CUDA-Q, Ising positions AI as the #orchestration layer for hybrid quantum-classical computing. Early adoption by institutions such as Fermilab and Harvard University signals immediate traction in #research. Strategically, this launch reframes AI not just as an application layer, but as foundational infrastructure for scalable, fault-tolerant quantum systems. Ising is fundamentally differentiated by its dual-model architecture: a 35B-parameter vision-language model for automated quantum calibration and a #3D CNN-based decoder for real-time quantum error correction. This architecture replaces manual calibration workflows with agentic AI pipelines, achieving up to 2.5× faster and 3× more accurate decoding while requiring significantly less training #data. Technically, it integrates tightly with NVIDIA’s CUDA-Q stack and NVQLink interconnect, enabling low-latency coupling between GPUs and quantum processing units (QPUs). Unlike generative AI models, Ising operates as a physics-aware control system, optimized for noisy qubit environments and scalable to millions of qubits, effectively acting as an AI control plane for quantum hardware. The Ising launch materially reshapes the quantum ecosystem by positioning NVIDIA as the control-plane leader in quantum computing, despite not manufacturing quantum hardware. It accelerates commercialization timelines by addressing error correction—widely seen as the primary barrier to the development of useful quantum systems. Market response was immediate, with quantum stocks (IonQ, Rigetti Computing, D-Wave) surging on expectations of faster industry maturation. Strategically, Ising challenges incumbents by shifting value from hardware-centric differentiation to AI-driven orchestration, thereby reinforcing a hybrid architecture in which GPUs and QPUs co-evolve. This positions NVIDIA as a central enabler across competing quantum vendors, potentially standardizing its ecosystem as the de facto operating layer for quantum-AI #convergence. These architectures intensify system autonomy and complexity, requiring dynamic governance models and adaptive #cyber-#ethics to continuously monitor, audit, and recalibrate #risks across hybrid quantum-AI control planes. #strategy #governance #business #investments #technology #future #digital

Really happy to see the official publication today of our paper in Nature Machine Intelligence: "Machine Learning for Practical Quantum Error Mitigation" Haoran Liao, Derek S. Wang, Iskandar Sitdikov, Ciro Salcedo, Alireza Seif, Zlatko Minev 🔍 Context: Quantum computers progress to outperform classical supercomputers, but quantum errors remain the primary obstacle. Quantum error mitigation offers a solution but at the high cost of added runtime. 🤔 Key Question: Can classical machine learning help us overcome errors in today's quantum computers by lowering mitigation overheads, in practice, on real hardware, at the 100 qubit+ scale? 🔬 Our Findings: Using both simulations and experiments on state-of-art quantum computers (up to 100 qubits), we find that machine learning for quantum error mitigation (ML-QEM) can: - Significantly reduce overheads. - Maintain or even outperform the accuracy of traditional methods. - Deliver nearly noise-free results for quantum algorithms. We tested multiple machine learning models on various quantum circuits and noise profiles. And, by leveraging ML-QEM, we were able to mimic conventional mitigation results for large quantum circuits, but with much less overhead. 🌟 Conclusion: Our research underscores the potential synergy between classical hashtag#ML and hashtag#AI and quantum computing.
