    面向动态异构网络中异质终端的量子原生联邦聚合算法

    A Quantum-Native Federated Aggregation Algorithm for Heterogeneous Terminals in Dynamic Heterogeneous Networks

    • 摘要: 在动态异构网络中,海量异质终端在进行分布式协同学习时面临严峻的通信瓶颈:终端之间需要频繁交换大规模模型参数,导致沉重的通信开销。为应对上述问题,本文提出QStar——一种面向异质终端的量子原生联邦聚合算法。与现有量子联邦学习方案需要将量子模型更新转换为经典比特串再进行传输不同,QStar在量子域内完成模型更新的传输与聚合:客户端将本地参数更新编码为量子叠加态,利用单次量子态传输即可承载多样化的候选更新策略;服务器端依据历史优化轨迹执行投影测量,直接在量子域内完成聚合。该机制使承载多个候选更新的通信代价由随候选数线性增长降为对数增长,并将候选比较与选优嵌入量子测量本身。在典型异质终端协同场景下开展的实验表明,相较于基于经典参数传输的量子联邦学习基线,QStar在收敛稳定性方面具有优势,并在类别数较多、特征较复杂的任务上取得了优于参数级量化方案的分类精度,为动态异构网络中海量异质终端的协同学习提供了一条可行的技术路径。

       

      Abstract: In dynamic heterogeneous networks, massive heterogeneous terminals face a severe communication bottleneck when performing distributed collaborative learning: the frequent exchange of large-scale model parameters among terminals incurs heavy communication overhead. To address this issue, this paper proposes QStar, a quantum-native federated aggregation algorithm for heterogeneous terminals. Unlike existing quantum federated learning schemes that convert quantum model updates into classical bit strings before transmission, QStar performs the transmission and aggregation of model updates within the quantum domain: clients encode local parameter updates into quantum superposition states so that a single quantum state transmission carries diverse candidate update strategies, and the server performs projective measurements guided by historical optimization trajectories to complete aggregation directly within the quantum domain. This mechanism makes the cost of carrying multiple candidate updates grow logarithmically rather than linearly with the number of candidates, and embeds candidate comparison and selection into the quantum measurement itself. Extensive experiments in typical heterogeneous terminal collaboration scenarios show that, compared with quantum federated learning baselines based on classical parameter transmission, QStar improves convergence stability and attains higher classification accuracy than parameter-quantization-based schemes on tasks with more classes and more complex features, providing a feasible technical pathway for collaborative learning of massive heterogeneous terminals in dynamic heterogeneous networks.
