Quantum-inspired tensor networks offer parameter-efficient image inpainting

Researchers have developed quantum-inspired tensor-network circuits for image inpainting tasks. A key innovation is the diagonal quantum Fourier transform (QFT) relaxation, which is invertible and maintains coherence during training, thus avoiding the need for explicit coherence penalties. This approach allows for efficient learning from randomly sampled data and generalizes well to new images, outperforming fixed transforms and larger unitary architectures with significantly fewer parameters. AI
