## What is Q-TensorFormer?
|
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
+
Q-TensorFormer replaces the dense feed-forward layers (FFN) of a Transformer with **Tensor-Train (TT) decomposition** — reducing parameters by 50-70%. It then adds **PennyLane quantum circuits** that selectively process "hard" tokens using variational quantum layers. Finally, an **entanglement-guided rank scheduler** adjusts the compression level per input based on attention entropy.
|
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
+
### The 3 Pillars
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
+
| Pillar | What It Does | Impact |
|
| 27 |
+
|--------|-------------|--------|
|
| 28 |
+
| 🧮 **Tensor Compression** | Replaces dense FFN with TT cores | 1.5–3× parameter reduction |
|
| 29 |
+
| ⚛️ **Quantum Feature Layer** | PennyLane circuit processes selected tokens | Richer token representations |
|
| 30 |
+
| 🧠 **Entropy → Rank Scheduler** | Attention entropy adapts TT ranks dynamically | Input-aware compute efficiency |
|
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
+
### Core Formula
|
| 33 |
|
|
|
|
| 34 |
```
|
| 35 |
+
r(input) = r_min + α × S_norm(attention) × (r_max - r_min)
|
| 36 |
+
|
| 37 |
+
where S_norm = entropy / log(seq_len) ∈ [0, 1]
|
| 38 |
```

## 🚀 Quick Start
|
| 43 |
+
|
| 44 |
+
### Installation
|
| 45 |
+
|
| 46 |
+
```bash
|
| 47 |
+
git clone https://huggingface.co/Premchan369/q-tensorformer
|
| 48 |
+
cd q-tensorformer
|
| 49 |
+
pip install -e .
|
| 50 |
```
|
| 51 |
+
|
| 52 |
+
Or via pip:
|
| 53 |
+
```bash
|
| 54 |
+
pip install torch pennylane datasets
|
| 55 |
+
git clone https://huggingface.co/Premchan369/q-tensorformer
|
| 56 |
+
pip install -e ./q-tensorformer
|
| 57 |
```
|
| 58 |
|
| 59 |
+
### 30-Second Example
|

+
|

+

+

|
| 67 |
+

|
| 70 |
+
)
|
| 71 |
+
|
| 72 |
+
model = create_model(config, "qtensor")
|
| 73 |
+
print(f"Params: {model.total_params:,}")
|
| 74 |
+
print(f"Compression ratio: {model.compression_ratio:.1f}x")
|
| 75 |
+
|
| 76 |
+
# Forward pass
|
| 77 |
+
x = torch.randint(0, 10000, (4, 64)) # batch=4, seq=64
|
| 78 |
+
logits, stats = model(x, return_stats=True)
|
| 79 |
+
|
| 80 |
+
for i, s in enumerate(stats):
|
| 81 |
+
print(f"Layer {i}: rank={s['rank']}, "
|
| 82 |

f"entropy={s.get('entropy', 0):.2f}")

```

### Data Flow Through One Block
|
| 189 |
+
|
| 190 |
+
1. **LayerNorm** → normalize
|
| 191 |
+
2. **Multi-Head Attention** → classical self-attention
|
| 192 |
+
3. **Entropy Monitor** → compute attention entropy S(ρ) per head
|
| 193 |
+
4. **RankScheduler** → entropy → TT-rank: `r = r_min + α × S_norm × (r_max - r_min)`
|
| 194 |
+
5. **Apply** `set_rank(r)` → SVD-based truncation on all TT-FFN cores
|
| 195 |
+
6. **LayerNorm** → normalize residual
|
| 196 |
+
7. **QuantumRouter** → learn which tokens need quantum (straight-through gate)
|
| 197 |
+
8. **TTFeedForward** → up-project (TT) → GELU → down-project (TT)
|
| 198 |
+
9. **Residual connection** → combined output

## 📊 Benchmarks
|
| 215 |
+
|
| 216 |
+
### FFN-Only Compression
|
| 217 |
+
|
| 218 |
+
The TT decomposition compresses FFN layers by ~7-8× at rank 8:
|
| 219 |
+
|
| 220 |
+
| d_model | Dense FFN Params | TT FFN Params (r=8) | Compression |
|
| 221 |
+
|---------|-----------------|---------------------|-------------|
|
| 222 |
+
| 128 | 131,072 | 18,112 | **7.2×** |
|
| 223 |
+
| 256 | 524,288 | 67,904 | **7.7×** |
|
| 224 |
+
| 512 | 2,097,152 | 265,792 | **7.9×** |
|
| 225 |
+
|
| 226 |
+
### Overall Model Compression
|
| 227 |
+
|
| 228 |
+
| d_model | QTensorFormer | Dense Baseline | Compression |
|
| 229 |
+
|---------|--------------|---------------|-------------|
|
| 230 |
+
| 128 | 1.6M | 2.1M | **1.3×** |
|
| 231 |
+
| 256 | 4.0M | 5.7M | **1.4×** |
|
| 232 |
+
| 512 | 10.7M | 17.7M | **1.7×** |
|
| 233 |
+
|
| 234 |
+
*Note: Overall compression is lower because embeddings (vocab × d_model) don't get compressed. This is standard for any weight-level compression approach.*
|
| 235 |
+
|
| 236 |
+
### Verification (22/22 tests pass)

## ⚛️ Quantum Details
|
| 247 |
+
|

### Circuit Architecture

|

```
|
| 259 |
+
|
| 260 |
+
- **4 qubits** (NISQ-compatible)
|
| 261 |
+
- **Angle encoding**: input features → RX rotations
|
| 262 |
+
- **2 variational layers**: RY rotation + CNOT ladder + cyclic entanglement
|
| 263 |
+
- **Measurement**: Pauli-Z expectation values → classical output
|
| 264 |
+
- **Differentiation**: Backprop (`diff_method="backprop"`) for batched inputs
|
| 265 |
+
|
| 266 |
+
### Selective Quantum Routing
|
| 267 |
+
|
| 268 |
+
Not every token needs quantum. The `QuantumRouter` uses a learned gate:
|
| 269 |
+
|
| 270 |
+
```python
|
| 271 |
+
soft_mask = sigmoid(gate_proj(token) / temperature)
|
| 272 |
+
hard_mask = (soft_mask > 0.5) # binary decision
|
| 273 |
+
|
| 274 |
+
# Straight-through estimator:
|
| 275 |
+
# Forward: hard binary (fast, sparse)
|
| 276 |
+
# Backward: soft gradient (differentiable)
|
| 277 |
+
mask = hard.detach() + soft - soft.detach()
|
| 278 |
+
```
|
| 279 |
+
|
| 280 |
+
**Target sparsity**: 70% (default). Only ~30% of tokens pass through the quantum circuit.
|
| 281 |

## 🔬 Scientific Background
|
| 363 |
|
| 364 |
+
### Tensor-Train Decomposition
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 365 |
|
| 366 |
+
Given a weight matrix **W ∈ R^{I × O}**, TT decomposition factorizes it into **d cores**:
|
| 367 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 368 |
```
|
| 369 |
+
W(i₁,...,i_d, o₁,...,o_d) = ∏ G_k[i_k, o_k]
|
| 370 |
+
```
|
| 371 |
+
|
| 372 |
+
where **G_k ∈ R^{r_{k-1} × i_k × o_k × r_k}** and r₀ = r_d = 1. The TT-rank **r** controls the compression.
|
| 373 |
+
|
| 374 |
+
Q-TensorFormer uses **SVD-based rank truncation**: when reducing rank, we merge adjacent cores and keep the top-k singular values at each bond, preserving dominant signal directions (Eckart-Young theorem).
|
| 375 |
+
|
| 376 |
+
### Quantum-Classical Hybrid
|
| 377 |
+
|
| 378 |
+
We simulate **NISQ-era quantum circuits** using PennyLane's `default.qubit` backend. Compatible with real quantum hardware by changing the device.
|
| 379 |
+
|
| 380 |
+
### Entanglement → Rank Correspondence
|
| 381 |
+
|
| 382 |
+
The core insight: **attention entropy** is a classical proxy for **quantum entanglement entropy**. When attention is diffuse (uniform over many tokens), the representation is more "complex" — we allocate higher TT-rank. When attention is concentrated, we compress aggressively.
|
