生成模型在数据合成中表现卓越,但模型规模扩大带来计算成本与效率挑战。量子机器学习提供新路径,能以紧凑且高表达力的模型表示复杂数据分布。本文提出首个用于时间序列合成的量子生成扩散模型QDiffusion-TS,并在IQM量子处理器上验证。该框架通过将去噪变压器中的前馈组件替换为量子神经网络,构建混合量子变压器,使每个被替换组件的可训练参数减少近三个数量级。在苹果与亚马逊金融时间序列数据上评估,生成数据更准确还原真实分布,相对于经典模型,Wasserstein距离降低约44%。在下游预测任务中,使用生成数据增强后,预测性能在RMSE指标上相比仅使用真实数据训练的基线最高提升71%。结果表明,量子增强架构可在参数大幅减少的情况下持续匹配甚至超越经典性能,为更高效、可扩展的数据驱动生成建模提供了实用框架。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Generative models have achieved remarkable success in data synthesis, though recent advances driven by increasing model scale have introduced challenges in computational cost and efficiency. Quantum machine learning offers a promising alternative, representing complex data distributions using compact, highly expressive models. Here, we propose QDiffusion-TS, the first quantum generative diffusion model for time series synthesis, and validate it on the IQM quantum processor. The framework extends a classical diffusion architecture by replacing feed-forward components within the denoising transformer with quantum neural networks, yielding a hybrid quantum transformer that reduces the number of trainable parameters in each replaced component by nearly three orders of magnitude. Evaluated on financial time series from Apple and Amazon, the model generates synthetic data that more accurately reproduces the real distributions, reducing Wasserstein distance by approximately 44% relative to its classical counterpart across both datasets. In a downstream forecasting task, augmentation with the generated data improves predictive performance by up to 71% in RMSE over a baseline trained solely on real data. These results show that quantum enhanced architectures can consistently match and frequently surpass classical performance with substantially fewer parameters, establishing a practical framework towards more efficient and scalable data-driven generative modelling.
