Abstract Integrating quantum computing into deep learning architectures is a promising but poorly understood endeavor: when does a quantum layer actually help, and how much quantum is enough? We address both questions through Quantum Adaptive Self-Attention (QASA), a hybrid Transformer that replaces the value projection in a single encoder layer with a parameterized quantum circuit (PQC), while keeping all other layers classical.

Traditional Quantum Neural Networks (QNNs) face significant challenges in scalability and computational efficiency. QNNs are prone to overfitting, which hinders their ability to generalize well with limited data. There is a need for a quantum machine learning framework that can efficiently tackle complex function fitting and classification tasks while avoiding overfitting.
