arXiv:2605.22097v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Photonic quantum computing is a promising platform for scalable quantum machine learning, but designing effective hybrid architectures remains challenging under hardware and optimization constraints. Existing approaches rely on manually tuned architectures that fail to account for the collaboration between classical preprocessing, phase encoding, and photonic circuit structure, limiting both accuracy and hardware compatibility. In this paper, we propose a neural architecture search framework for hybrid photonic quantum-classical models that com
The increasing maturity of both quantum computing platforms (specifically photonic) and neural architecture search techniques makes this a logical convergence point.
This development proposes a method to optimize hybrid quantum-classical AI, which could unlock significant performance gains for machine learning on emerging quantum hardware.
The ability to automatically design more efficient hybrid quantum architectures may accelerate the practical application of quantum machine learning, moving beyond manual design limitations.
