MDTransformer: A Hardware-Software Co-Design of Mode-Division Photonic Transformer Accelerator with Inverse-Designed Coherent Crossbar

Solomon Micheal Serunjogi, Rachmad Vidya Wicaksana Putra, Ayat Taha, Muhammad Shafique, Mahmoud Rasras

Recently, photonic transformer accelerators (PTAs) have successfully achieved significant speedup and energy efficiency improvements over electronic accelerators for expediting Transformer inference. However, state-of-the-art rely on expensive multi-wavelength light generation an…

PN-QNN: Harnessing Physical Noise as a Native Regularizer in Photonic Hybrid Quantum Neural Networks

Farah Elnakhal, Alberto Marchisio, Nouhaila Innan, Gabriel Falcao, Muhammad Shafique

Physical noise in near-term quantum hardware is usually treated as a nuisance to suppress. We ask whether it can instead act as a hardware-native regularizer for photonic hybrid quantum-classical neural networks (PHQCNNs), analogous to noise-injection regularization in classical…

VQCSim: When Does Compile-Once Statevector Simulation Beat Generic Quantum Frameworks?

Anton Firc, Martin Perešíni, Vojtěch Mrázek, Kamil Malinka, Vojtěch Staněk, Zbyněk Lička, et al.

Hybrid quantum-classical machine learning workflows repeatedly evaluate many small parametrized circuits during training and model exploration. In this regime, framework dispatch and orchestration overhead often dominate runtime. Prior simulators accelerate execution but leave op…

MDQEC-QAS: Meta-Decoding for Quantum Error Correction with Hardware-Aware VQC Search and Confidence-Gated Recovery

Prashant Kumar Choudhary, Nouhaila Innan, Muhammad Shafique, Rajeev Singh

We propose a unified meta-decoding framework for quantum error correction that learns syndrome-to-recovery mappings across multiple stabilizer codes and noise settings, without requiring separate decoders for each configuration. The benchmark includes FiveQubit, Steane, Planar3x3…
