Equivariant Quantum Clustering with Differential Privacy: Parameter-Efficient Privacy-Preserving Analysis Across Heterogeneous Sensitive Datasets

Privacy-preserving clustering is critical for analyzing sensitive data in healthcare, cybersecurity, and enterprise applications, where maintaining data confidentiality must be balanced with analytical performance. This paper presents Equivariant Quantum Clustering (EQC), a parameter-efficient framework that integrates symmetry-aware quantum circuits with differential privacy to improve the privacy-utility tradeoff. EQC employs p4m equivariant parameter sharing to reduce circuit complexity…
