Quantum Entangled Multimodal Fusion Networks (QEMFN): Resource-Aware Hybrid Vision-Language Fusion via Trainable Entanglement
Srikar Alla, Ali Shiri Sichani, Chi-Ren Shyu
Multimodal vision-language systems typically fuse image and text embeddings through classical operators such as concatenation, attention, bilinear pooling, or tensor interactions.…
When Normalization Selects the Sign: Auditing Robustness Ablations in Quantum Attention
Owen Friedewald, Srikar Alla, Ali Shiri Sichani +1
Removing an input-scaling module changes both a classifier and the perturbations reaching its encoder. A robustness difference can therefore reflect the comparison rule as well as…
Where Quantum Fourier Sampling Stops Short: A Three-Gate Audit Protocol for Delay-PUF Security Models
Owen Friedewald, Ali Shiri Sichani, Chi-Ren Shyu
Quantum Fourier sampling may help audit the spectral learnability of delay-based physical unclonable functions (PUFs). We ask whether that promise survives access matching, a stron…
Exact Diagonal Completion on Reachable Subspaces: Application to QAOA Placement
Owen Friedewald, Ali Shiri Sichani, Chi-Ren Shyu
Unused encoding states offer opportunities to simplify quantum circuits. For algorithms restricted to reachable subspaces, unspecified diagonal-operator entries can be optimized wi…
Plateau-Constrained Selection: Exploiting Degeneracy for Lower-Depth Quantum Compilation
Owen Friedewald, Ali Shiri Sichani, Chi-Ren Shyu
Minimum-cost orders of commuting phase terms can produce substantially different routed circuits. On the same 36-term instances, three orders with identical support cost 74 yield m…
Shielded RL for Route-Charged Parity-Term Ordering in QEDA Phase Components
Owen Friedewald, Ali Shiri Sichani, Chi-Ren Shyu
Commuting phase terms in quantum electronic design automation (QEDA) placement circuits are logically invariant under reordering, yet their routed cost varies substantially after h…
Toward Secure Multitenant Quantum Computing: Circuit Affinity, Crosstalk Patterns, and Grouping Strategies
Andrew Woods, Chi-Ren Shyu
Multitenancy increases throughput and reduces costs in cloud-based quantum computing, but concurrent job execution introduces security risks through inter-circuit crosstalk. We cha…
