arXiv:2604.01930v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We propose a geometry-driven quantum-inspired classification framework that integrates Correlation Group Structures (CGR), compact SWAP-test-based overlap estimation, and selective variational quantum decision modelling. Rather than directly approximating class posteriors, the method adopts a geometry-first paradigm in which samples are evaluated relative to class medoids using overlap-derived Euclidean-like and angular similarity channels. CGR organizes features into anchor-centered correlation neighbourhoods, generating nonlinear, correlation-weighted representations that enhance robustness in heterogeneous tabular spaces. These geometric signals are fused through a non-probabilistic margin-based fusion score, serving as a lightweight and data-efficient primary classifier for small-to-moderate datasets. On Heart Disease, Breast Cancer, and Wine Quality datasets, the fusion-score classifier achieves 0.8478, 0.8881, and 0.9556 test accuracy respectively, with macro-F1 scores of 0.8463, 0.8703, and 0.9522, demonstrating competitive and stable performance relative to classical baselines. For large-scale and highly imbalanced regimes, we construct compact Delta-distance contrastive features and train a variational quantum classifier (VQC) as a nonlinear refinement layer. On the Credit Card Fraud dataset (0.17% prevalence), the Delta + VQC pipeline achieves approximately 0.85 minority recall at an alert rate of approximately 1.31%, with ROC-AUC 0.9249 and PR-AUC 0.3251 under full-dataset evaluation. These results highlight the importance of operating-point-aware assessment in rare-event detection and demonstrate that the proposed hybrid geometric-variational framework provides interpretable, scalable, and regime-adaptive classification across heterogeneous data settings.

arXiv:2603.29944v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Quantum sensing technologies offer transformative potential for ultra-sensitive biomedical sensing, yet their clinical translation remains constrained by classical noise limits and a reliance on macroscopic ensembles. We propose a unifying generational framework to organize the evolving landscape of quantum biosensors based on their utilization of quantum resources. First-generation devices utilize discrete energy levels for signal transduction but follow classical scaling laws. Second-generation sensors exploit quantum coherence to reach the standard quantum limit, while third-generation architectures leverage entanglement and spin squeezing to approach Heisenberg-limited precision. We further define an emerging fourth generation characterized by the end-to-end integration of quantum sensing with quantum learning and variational circuits, enabling adaptive inference directly within the quantum domain. By analyzing critical parameters such as bandwidth matching and sensor-tissue proximity, we identify key technological bottlenecks and propose a roadmap for transitioning from measuring physical observables to extracting structured biological information with quantum-enhanced intelligence.
