Fourier Analysis of Parametrized Interactive Quantum Classifiers

Read the original on arXiv Machine Learning →

The paper derives a closed‑form expression for the reduced quantum channel of a single‑qubit Interactive Quantum Classifier (IQC), revealing that Hamiltonian parameters directly control the constant, sine, and cosine components of the classifier output. This Fourier interpretation motivates a generalized family of Hamiltonian encodings, including matrix‑parameterized environmental Hamiltonians that produce non‑separable Fourier structures. Numerical experiments on synthetic and real‑world datasets demonstrate that these generalized encodings improve classification performance on several nonlinear benchmarks, with a simpler four‑parameter extension achieving comparable results with fewer trainable parameters.

Parameterized Quantum Circuits as Feature Maps: Representation Quality and Readout Effects in Multispectral Land-Cover Classification

arXiv:2604. 26675v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We investigate variational quantum classifiers (VQCs) for land-cover classification from multispectral satellite imagery, adopting a feature-map perspective in which the quantum circuit defines a nonlinear data embedding while the readout determines how this representation is exploited.

Neural Fourier Surrogates for Data Reuploading Quantum Neural Networks

The paper introduces Neural Fourier Surrogates (NFS), a stochastic classical neural network that learns coefficients over a finite Fourier series support similar to quantum neural networks (QNNs). By testing on tabular benchmark datasets, NFS demonstrates competitive classification performance against established classical baselines and data‑reuploading QNNs. The authors also compare the learned Fourier spectra of QNNs and NFS on synthetic data, positioning NFS as a natural classical baseline for evaluating QNN performance.
