We present QuCoWE, a framework that learns quantum-native word embeddings by training shallow, hardware-efficient parameterized quantum circuits (PQCs) with a contrastive skip-gram objective. Words are encoded by data-reuploading circuits with controlled ring entanglement; similarity is computed via quantum state fidelity and passed through a logit-fidelity head that aligns scores with the shifted-PMI scale of SGNS/Noise-Contrastive Estimation. To maintain trainability, we introduce an entanglement-budget regularizer based on single-qubit purity that mitigates barren plateaus. On Text8 and WikiText-2, QuCoWE attains competitive intrinsic (WordSim-353, SimLex-999) and extrinsic (SST-2, TREC-6) performance versus 50–100d classical baselines while using fewer learned parameters per token. All experiments are run in classical simulation; we analyze depolarizing/readout noise and include error-mitigation hooks (zero-noise extrapolation, randomized compiling) to facilitate hardware deployment.

摘要

We present QuCoWE, a framework that learns quantum-native word embeddings by training shallow, hardware-efficient parameterized quantum circuits (PQCs) with a contrastive skip-gram objective. Words are encoded by data-reuploading circuits with controlled ring entanglement; similarity is computed via quantum state fidelity and passed through a logit-fidelity head that aligns scores with the shifted-PMI scale of SGNS/Noise-Contrastive Estimation. To maintain trainability, we introduce an entanglement-budget regularizer based on single-qubit purity that mitigates barren plateaus. On Text8 and WikiText-2, QuCoWE attains competitive intrinsic (WordSim-353, SimLex-999) and extrinsic (SST-2, TREC-6) performance versus 50–100d classical baselines while using fewer learned parameters per token. All experiments are run in classical simulation; we analyze depolarizing/readout noise and include error-mitigation hooks (zero-noise extrapolation, randomized compiling) to facilitate hardware deployment.
