由于组织异质性、染色差异及疾病类别间细微视觉差异,病理学癌症检测极具挑战。本文提出两种量子算法:通过每像素局部Ry编码,在单次执行中计算多方向边缘响应的可配置双梯度CSWAP电路(DG-CSWAP),以及与量子处理单元(QPU)门集原生匹配、电路复杂度显著更低的破坏性交换电路(DG-DST)。我们证明了DG-CSWAP与DG-DST的代数等价性,支持双电路量子硬件验证策略。采用三阶段NISQ缓解流水线(读出误差校正、偏置减除、斜率回归),使单像素硬件均方误差降低约8倍。在亚马逊Braket平台上对五台量子处理器验证,所有本地模拟器对间的皮尔逊相关系数达到0.93–0.94。相比需12比特全局态制备与三模型集成的先前量子傅里叶变换(QFT)幅值编码基线(在PatchCamelyon上为85.55%准确率),本方法采用基于采样的测量方式,直接运行于真实量子硬件,仅用一个ResNet-50即达79.80%准确率。轻量版配置实现预处理速度提升17倍,准确率仅下降2.59%。据我们所知,这是首个针对病理图像分类的量子硬件实现研究,并包含噪声缓解方案。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Histopathologic cancer detection is challenging due to tissue variability, staining differences, and subtle visual distinctions between disease classes. We propose two quantum algorithms for this task: a configurable dual-gradient CSWAP circuit (DG-CSWAP) that computes multi-directional edge responses in a single execution via per-pixel local Ry encoding, and a hardware-efficient destructive swap circuit (DG-DST) natively matched to quantum processing unit (QPU) gate sets at substantially lower circuit complexity. We prove algebraic equivalence between DG-CSWAP and DG-DST, enabling a two-circuit QPU validation strategy. A three-stage NISQ mitigation pipeline, including readout error correction, bias subtraction, and slope regression, reduces single-pixel hardware MSE by ~8x. Validated on five quantum processors via Amazon Braket, the method achieves inter-platform Pearson r ~ 0.93-0.94 across all local-simulator pairs. Compared to a prior Quantum Fourier Transform (QFT) based amplitude-encoding baseline requiring 12-qubit global state preparation and a three-model ensemble (85.55% on PatchCamelyon), the proposed method uses shot-based measurements, executes on real quantum hardware, and achieves 79.80% accuracy with a single ResNet-50. A Lite configuration delivers a 17x preprocessing speedup at a 2.59% accuracy cost. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first quantum hardware implementation study with noise mitigation for histopathologic image classification.
