Fidelity estimation is a critical yet resource-intensive step in testing quantum programs on noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) devices, where the required number of measurements is difficult to predefine due to hardware noise, device heterogeneity, and transpilation-induced circuit transformat
Graph pre-training and prompt tuning provide an effective route to label-efficient node classification by learning transferable backbones and adapting them with lightweight prompts. However, existing pre-train-and-prompt pipelines often generalize poorly across graphs with diverse homophily due to t
Optimizing quantum programs is key to mitigating noise, reducing error-correction overhead, and improving performance on both near-term and fault-tolerant devices. Existing heuristic and learning-based optimizers, however, lack formal guarantees and risk semantic errors in the presence of entangleme
Image smoothing is a fundamental technique in image processing, designed to eliminate perturbations and textures while preserving dominant structures. It plays a pivotal role in numerous high-level computer vision tasks. More recently, both traditional and deep learning-based smoothing methods have…
With the rapid advancements in quantum computing, cloud-based quantum services have gained increasing prominence. However, due to quantum noise, optimizing the deployment of quantum circuits remains an NP-hard problem with an expansive search space. Existing methods usually use heuristic algorithms
Automated assessment of open responses in K–12 science education poses significant challenges due to the multimodal nature of student work, which often integrates textual explanations, drawings, and handwritten elements. Traditional evaluation methods that focus solely on textual analysis fail to ca
