• Abstract: In this paper, we propose a new methodology to design quantum hybrid diffusion models, derived from classical U-Nets with ResNet and Attention layers. Specifically, we propose two possible different hybridization schemes combining quantum computing's superior generalization with classical networks' modularity. In the first one, we acted at the vertex: ResNet convolutional layers are gradually replaced with variational circuits to create Quantum ResNet blocks. In the second proposed architecture, we extend the hybridization to the intermediate level of the encoder, due to its higher sensitivity in the feature extraction process. In order to conduct an in-depth analysis of the potential advantages stemming from the integration of quantum layers, images generated by quantum hybrid diffusion models are compared to those generated by classical models, and evaluated in terms of several quantitative metrics. The results demonstrate an advantage in using a hybrid quantum diffusion models, as they generally synthesize better-quality images and converges faster. Moreover, they show the additional advantage of having a lower number of parameters to train compared to the classical one, with a reduction that depends on the extent to which the vertex is hybridized.

  This research explores the integration of quantum computing with classical machine learning for image classification tasks. We propose a hybrid quantum-classical approach that leverages the strengths of both paradigms. The experimental results indicate that while the hybrid model demonstrates the feasibility of integrating quantum computing with classical techniques, the accuracy of the final model, trained on quantum outcomes, is currently lower than the classical model trained on compressed features.
