• Abstract: Quantum neural networks have emerged as powerful models for approximating nonlinear functions. Yet their use in solving integro-differential equations (IDEs) and fractional integro-partial differential equations (FIPDEs), which involve inherently nonlocal operators, remains unexplored. This work introduces a quantum physics-informed neural network (QPINN) framework that combines a quantum neural network with the governing equations of general nonlinear IDEs and FIPDEs. The proposed quantum network uses an affine feature map and variational quantum circuits to produce trial solutions with explicit trigonometric structure. We prove a quantitative $L^{2}(μ)$ universal approximation theorem for this architecture, achieving a convergence rate of $\mathcal{O}(n^{-1/2})$. This extends classical Fourier approximation theory to quantum circuits for physics-informed learning. We propose two QPINN variants: the numerical-quadrature QPINN (N-QPINN), which handles nonlocal integrals and fractional operators via high-order numerical quadrature while computing local derivatives through automatic differentiation of quantum trial solutions; and the auxiliary-function QPINN (A-QPINN), which eliminates numerical quadrature by introducing auxiliary variables that reformulate each integro-differential equation as an equivalent coupled system of partial differential equations, enabling a multi-output quantum neural network to simultaneously represent the solution and its associated variables. A series of numerical experiments demonstrates that the proposed QPINN framework accurately captures the behavior of nonlinear IDEs and FIPDEs and outperforms classical physics-informed neural networks.

  In this work, we assess the ability of physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) to solve increasingly-complex coupled ordinary differential equations (ODEs) We show that PINNs eventually fail to produce correct solutions to these benchmarks as their complexity increases. We identify several reasons why this may be the case, including insufficient network capacity, poor conditioning of the ODEs, and high local curvature, as measured by the Laplacian of the PINN loss.
