Quantum Diffusion Models for Medical Image Analysis
Quick summary
arXiv:2609.31070v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Quantum Machine Learning is a novel field of research aimed at devising machine learning approaches exploiting principles of quantum mechanics, such as superposition, entanglement and interference. In this context, we present a scalable hybrid Quantum Diffusion Model, and evaluate its use for medical image analysis. Specifically, our method is based on a Discrete-Time Quantum Walk algorithm, executed on a real quantum device, to model the forward dynamics of the diffusion model. For the backward step of the diffusion model, we devise and evalua
