Quantum-JEPA: Quantum Born Priors for Latent-Action JEPA World Models

We introduce Quantum-JEPA, a latent-action JEPA framework that learns distributions of future representations using a conditional quantum Born prior.

Key points

  • However, quantum generative models remain underexplored for this task.
  • We train the quantum prior through the quality and diversity of these predictions using a sampled energy objective.
  • Our quantum priors combine competitive predictive quality with a parameter-efficient sampling structure: they avoid an exponentially sized categorical output layer while supporting correlated latent actions.
  • These results establish a trainable quantum component for JEPA future prediction and a basis for exploring quantum-enhanced world models at larger scales.
