Abstract:Complex-valued Transformers have largely inherited softmax attention from real-valued architectures. However, row-normalised token competition is not necessarily aligned with phase-preserving computation. In this paper, we introduce the Phase-Coherent Transformer (PCT), which applies a real-valued, element-independent, smooth gate to L2-normalised complex query-key similarities. PCT replaces token competition with token-non-competing attention and is designed to preserve phase information across layers.
Across mid-scale benchmarks spanning long-range memory, hierarchical long-range reasoning, positional retrieval, phase-based memory and superposition, and image classification, PCT shows strong generalisation across task categories. Under parameter-fair comparison, PCT consistently outperforms both the standard softmax Transformer and its direct complex-valued counterpart. Moreover, even on tasks traditionally considered difficult for complex-valued neural networks, such as NIAH and LRA-Text, PCT remains competitive with Multiscreen, the strongest real-valued NN baseline in our comparison. Experiments introducing gates that deliberately violate the PCT conditions show that the design is not incidental: smooth gates that preserve negatively aligned phase components remain strong, whereas gates that delete such components collapse on long-range retrieval, and gates whose outputs become excessively large suffer clear performance degradation. PCT also shows no depth-related accuracy collapse across the tested depth range. These results support introducing multi-layer phase-coherent structure into attention as a promising design principle for achieving generalisation in complex-valued Transformers.
