Researchers have explored a novel approach to training sequence models by utilizing a complex-valued state representation inspired by quantum theory, rather than the conventional real-valued state. This 'quantum shortcut' method, when applied to Mamba and Transformer models, significantly reduced the number of optimization steps required to reach target validation losses. Specifically, the complex-valued models achieved these results in approximately one-third to one-half the steps of their real-valued counterparts, demonstrating a potential pathway to faster and more efficient training of large language models.
