arXiv:2606.20344v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Machine learning models have scaled to unprecedented sizes, making training across distributed devices the de facto standard in the field. In this work, we explore how quantum communications can make distributed training both more communication-efficient and information-theoretically private, for both classical and quantum learning models. Ring all-reduce is the foundational communication primitive for large-scale distributed training. We present a quantum version that reduces per-link online communication by a provably optimal factor of two us
The increasing scale of machine learning models and the growing demand for data privacy in distributed systems are driving innovation in communication primitives.
This research outlines a pathway to significantly enhance the efficiency and security of distributed AI training, which is foundational for future advanced AI systems.
The potential integration of quantum communication into distributed AI training could fundamentally alter the cost and privacy considerations of large-scale model development.
