arXiv:2606.18970v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Medical image classification is often constrained by limited labeled data, motivating generative augmentation; recently, quantum generative models have been proposed for this purpose, frequently reporting accuracy gains. However, such claims are typically based on single training runs, do not match the parameter budgets of the quantum and classical generators, and do not characterize the data regime in which any benefit appears. We present a controlled benchmark that isolates the contribution of a quantum generator to brain-MRI augmentation. Im
The proliferation of quantum computing research is leading to exploring its intersection with established AI techniques like GANs, specifically for data-constrained fields such as medical imaging.
This benchmark helps to rigorously evaluate the actual efficacy of quantum generative models for data augmentation, a critical step before widespread adoption in sensitive applications like healthcare.
A clearer understanding emerges regarding the specific scenarios and conditions under which quantum GANs offer a tangible benefit over classical methods, preventing premature or misdirected investments.
