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.

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.
