vFedProtoQNAS: Prototype-Guided Personalized Quantum Neural Architecture Search for Virtual Federated Learning

Excerpt

arXiv:2610.01718v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Quantum federated learning (QFL) has emerged as a promising approach for collaboratively training compact quantum neural networks (QNNs) over distributed private data on resource-constrained devices. However, differences in device capabilities make a single shared QNN architecture unsuitable for all clients. While personalized quantum neural architecture search (QNAS) allows each client to select a device-specific QNN, averaging parameters across s
