4. 1 Particle - 1 Qubit: Particle Physics Data Encoding for Quantum Machine Learning

Benedikt Maier (Imperial College (GB))

8/22/25, 10:20 AM

We introduce 1P1Q, a novel quantum data encoding scheme for high-energy physics (HEP), where each particle is assigned to an individual qubit, enabling direct representation of collision events on quantum circuits without classical compression. We demonstrate the effectiveness of 1P1Q in quantum machine learning (QML) through two applications: a Quantum Autoencoder (QAE) for unsupervised...

6. Quantum-Enhanced Inference for Four-Top-Quark Signal Classification at the LHC Using Graph Neural Networks [remote]

Mr Syed Haider Ali (Department of Physics & Applied Mathematics, Pakistan Institute of Engineering and Applied Sciences (PIEAS), P. O. Nilore 45650, Islamabad)

8/22/25, 10:40 AM

Rare event classification in high-energy physics (HEP) plays a crucial role in probing physics beyond the Standard Model (BSM). Such processes serve as indirect searches for new physics by testing deviations from SM predictions in extreme kinematic regimes. The production of four top quarks in association with a ($W^-$) boson at $(\sqrt{s} = 13)$ $ TeV$ is an exceptionally rare SM process with...
