Quantum Generative Models for Image Generation: Insights from MNIST and MedMNIST

  • 将量子电路嵌入U-Net瓶颈层,用量子噪声提升生成质量。
  • 少于100张图片训练时,量子模型生成图像更逼真、分布更相似。
  • 对灰度图效果好,但彩色医学图像表现仍受限,适合生物医疗应用探索。

量子生成模型通过量子线路提升数据生成能力,展现出新前景。本文提出一种混合量子-经典图像生成框架,将变分量子电路融入扩散模型。为改善训练与生成效果,引入两种新噪声策略:内在量子生成噪声与定制化噪声调度机制。模型基于轻量级U-Net架构,量子层置于瓶颈模块以隔离影响。在MNIST与MedMNIST数据集上评估,结果表明:当训练样本少于100张时,量子增强模型生成的图像在感知质量和分布相似性上均优于同架构经典模型。虽然量子模型在灰度数据如MNIST上表现优异,但在复杂彩色数据如PathMNIST上表现更复杂。研究揭示了量子生成模型的潜力与当前局限,为低资源及生物医学图像生成提供了基础。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Quantum generative models offer a promising new direction in machine learning by leveraging quantum circuits to enhance data generation capabilities. In this study, we propose a hybrid quantum-classical image generation framework that integrates variational quantum circuits into a diffusion-based model. To improve training dynamics and generation quality, we introduce two novel noise strategies: intrinsic quantum-generated noise and a tailored noise scheduling mechanism. Our method is built upon a lightweight U-Net architecture, with the quantum layer embedded in the bottleneck module to isolate its effect. We evaluate our model on MNIST and MedMNIST datasets to examine its feasibility and performance. Notably, our results reveal that under limited data conditions (fewer than 100 training images), the quantum-enhanced model generates images with higher perceptual quality and distributional similarity than its classical counterpart using the same architecture. While the quantum model shows advantages on grayscale data such as MNIST, its performance is more nuanced on complex, color-rich datasets like PathMNIST. These findings highlight both the potential and current limitations of quantum generative models and lay the groundwork for future developments in low-resource and biomedical image generation.
