Quantum machine learning models tested for high-energy physics event selection

A new research paper explores the application of quantum machine learning models for event selection in high-energy physics, specifically using CMS open data. The study compares four classical machine learning models against four hybrid quantum counterparts, evaluating their performance on a binary classification task. While the artificial neural network performed best among classical models, a quantum convolutional network showed strong results, demonstrating the potential of hybrid quantum approaches within a limited qubit budget.

    Classical and Hybrid Quantum Machine Learning for Trigger-Like Event Selection on CMS Open Data: An Eight-Qubit, PCA-Constrained Benchmark

    arXiv:2608.26224v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Event triggering sits at the heart of high-energy physics, where the rare events of interest must be retained while an overwhelming background is discarded under tight latency and bandwidth budgets. This work compares four classic…
