The paper presents an evolutionary framework, EXAQC, that automatically discovers parameterized quantum circuits (PQCs) for use as intermediate modules in hybrid quantum‑classical neural networks for image classification. By evolving PQCs while keeping classical feature‑extraction and prediction layers fixed, the authors achieve high accuracies on MNIST, Fashion‑MNIST, and CIFAR‑10 with gate counts comparable to other quantum architecture‑search methods. The evolved hybrid models match or exceed the performance of classical networks while using far fewer trainable parameters, and the choice of encoding (rotation‑based vs amplitude) significantly impacts accuracy.

arXiv:2606. 28655v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Parameterized quantum circuits (PQCs) provide a flexible substrate for hybrid quantum machine learning (QML), but their practical value on Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) devices remains an empirical question, especially because training depth and scale can introduce optimization challenges such as barren plateaus.
