QGNN Graph-Native Architecture

Overview

The QGNN (Quantum Graph Neural Network) architecture represents a fundamental shift from tightly-coupled array-based systems to scalable graph-native data structures. This transformation enables true quantum neural network capabilities while maintaining Gottesman-Knill simulability and extreme energy efficiency.

Architecture Components

1. Graph-Native Data Structures

NodeID System

struct NodeID {
    uint32_t id;                    // Unique identifier
    ternary::Trit quantum_state;     // Node quantum state
    
    // Hash function for O(1) access
    struct NodeIDHash {
        size_t operator()(const NodeID& node_id) const noexcept {
            return std::hash<uint32_t>{}(node_id.id) ^ 
                   (static_cast<size_t>(node_id.quantum_state) << 16);
        }
    };
};

Ternary Edge System

struct TernaryEdge {
    NodeID source, target;           // Connected nodes
    ternary::Trit weight;            // GF(3) edge weight
    ternary::EnergyTrit energy_cost; // Energy for traversal
};

SparseAdjacencyList

  • O(1) Edge Access: Hash-based adjacency for constant-time lookups
  • Memory Efficiency: Only stores existing edges, not O(N²) matrices
  • Dynamic Scaling: Add/remove nodes and edges efficiently

2. Expert Node Architecture

ExpertNode Structure

struct ExpertNode {
    NodeID node_id;                              // Unique identifier
    stabilizer::StabilizerTableau quantum_state; // 8-qutrit state
    std::vector<ternary::Trit> specialization;    // Expert specialization
    ternary::EnergyTrit energy_level;            // Current energy
    uint32_t load_metric;                        // Load (0-100)
    ternary::ProbTrit availability;              // Availability probability
};

Quantum State Integration

  • Stabilizer Tableau: Each expert maintains 8-qutrit quantum state
  • Clifford Operations: All quantum operations are Gottesman-Knill compliant
  • Entanglement Tracking: Graph edges represent quantum entanglement

3. Graph-Based MoE Router

Routing Pipeline

  1. Quantum Message Passing: Information propagation through graph
  2. Graph Attention: Ternary attention over neighborhood
  3. Expert Selection: Top-k selection based on attention scores
  4. Energy Optimization: Minimize energy while maintaining performance

Message Passing Algorithm

std::vector<ExpertNode*> quantum_message_passing(
    const std::vector<ternary::Trit>& input,
    size_t iterations = 3
) {
    for (size_t iter = 0; iter < iterations; ++iter) {
        for (auto* expert : all_experts) {
            // Aggregate messages from neighbors
            auto neighbors = graph->get_neighbors(expert->node_id);
            std::vector<ternary::Trit> aggregated_message;
            
            for (auto* neighbor : neighbors) {
  // ... (truncated)
  // See source for complete code

4. Migration Adapter System

Unified Interface

class GraphMigrationAdapter {
public:
    // Automatic routing selection based on migration progress
    std::vector<size_t> route_unified(
        const std::vector<ternary::Trit>& input,
        size_t top_k
    );
    
    // Performance comparison and validation
    PerformanceMetrics benchmark_performance(
        const std::vector<ternary::Trit>& test_input,
        size_t iterations = 100
    );
};

Migration Strategy

  • Gradual Transition: 0% → 100% graph routing over time
  • Performance Monitoring: Real-time comparison between systems
  • Consistency Validation: Ensure routing results remain consistent
  • Rollback Capability: Safe fallback to array-based routing

Energy Efficiency

Ternary Energy Tracking

enum class EnergyTrit : int8_t {
    LOW = -1,      // < 0.3 pJ/op
    MEDIUM = 0,    // 0.3 - 0.7 pJ/op  
    HIGH = 1       // > 0.7 pJ/op
};

Energy Optimization Strategies

  1. Edge Weight Optimization: Use low-energy edges when possible
  2. Load Balancing: Distribute computation to avoid hotspots
  3. Quantum State Caching: Reuse stabilizer states when possible
  4. Message Passing Efficiency: Minimize iterations while maintaining accuracy

QGNN Integration

Graph Neural Network Operations

// Quantum message passing for QGNN
auto activated_experts = router->quantum_message_passing(input, 3);

// Graph attention for node classification
auto attention_scores = router->graph_attention_selection(input, k);

// Hierarchical processing for large graphs
auto hierarchical_result = router->hierarchical_selection(input, k);

Quantum Simulability

  • Gottesman-Knill Compliance: All operations use Clifford gates
  • No Non-Clifford Operations: Maintains classical simulability
  • Stabilizer Formalism: Direct integration with tableau operations
  • Deterministic Behavior: Reproducible quantum-inspired computations

Implementation Purity

GF(3) Compliance

  • 100% Ternary Operations: No floating-point arithmetic
  • Binary Pollution Free: Validated with automated tools
