An Hybrid Quantum-Classical Diffusion Model for Image Generation
Qipeng Qian, Keli Deng, Yuntao Qian
Quantum diffusion models provide a physics-consistent route to generative learning by formulating noising and denoising directly on quantum states. However, applying such models to classical high-dimensional data is constrained by the qubit cost of state encoding and the computat…
