We propose a method to optimize the correlation among convolutional neural network (CNN) features that are used as inputs to quantum neural network (QNN) to enhance image classification accuracy. Unlike prior approaches that employ orthogonal decomposition as preprocessing, we intentionally introduce correlated features that are more physically compatible with QNN.

Quaternion-valued neural networks and variational quantum circuits (VQCs) both derive local transformations from $\mathrm{SU}(2)$ geometry, yet their performance on classical supervised learning remains poorly understood. We compare real-valued, quaternion-valued, and quantum classification heads on identical frozen features across MNIST, FashionMNIST, and CIFAR-10.
