Tuning variational quantum classifier with automated design

Niti Buesamae, Unchalisa Taetragool

Machine learning is the process of discovering patterns in data and using those patterns to forecast or predict future occurrences of those patterns. The machine learning process consists of three steps: input data management, model construction, and model evaluation. Combining machine learning and quantum computing allows for the design and operation of quantum circuits with behavior resembling that of classical machine learning. Variable quantum circuits are frequently used in quantum machine learning. Parameterized variables, a crucial part of variable quantum circuits, must be adjusted in order to achieve good performance of these circuits. It is possible to modify parameterized variables in a variety of ways, such as by using gradient methods or linear programming to determine the circuit’s optimal point. This study proposes a method for automatically designing a variational quantum circuit to classify the different datasets, including the well-known 1-dimensional and 2-dimensional datasets, iris and MNIST, using a genetic algorithm to find the best values for the parameterized variables. The Qiskit quantum simulation tools are employed in these experiments. The results show that genetic algorithms can find solutions with greater accuracy than linear-based optimizers by 94 percent and 37.5 percent, respectively, for the iris dataset and the MNIST dataset.

A Hybrid Quantum–Classical Architecture with Data Re-Uploading and Genetic Algorithm Optimization for Enhanced Image Classification

Aksultan Mukhanbet, Beimbet Daribayev

Quantum machine learning (QML) has emerged as a promising approach for enhancing image classification by exploiting quantum computational principles such as superposition and entanglement. However, practical applications on complex datasets like CIFAR-100 remain limited due to the low expressivity of shallow circuits and challenges in circuit optimization. In this study, we propose HQCNN–REGA—a novel hybrid quantum–classical convolutional neural network architecture that integrates data re-uploading and genetic algorithm optimization for improved performance. The data re-uploading mechanism allows classical inputs to be encoded multiple times into quantum states, enhancing the model’s capacity to learn complex visual features. In parallel, a genetic algorithm is employed to evolve the quantum circuit architecture by optimizing gate sequences, entanglement patterns, and layer configurations. This combination enables automatic discovery of efficient parameterized quantum circuits without manual tuning. Experiments on the MNIST and CIFAR-100 datasets demonstrate state-of-the-art performance for quantum models, with HQCNN–REGA outperforming existing quantum neural networks and approaching the accuracy of advanced classical architectures. In particular, we compare our model with classical convolutional baselines such as ResNet-18 to validate its effectiveness in real-world image classification tasks. Our results demonstrate the feasibility of scalable, high-performing quantum–classical systems and offer a viable path toward practical deployment of QML in computer vision applications, especially on noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) hardware.

Quantum Kernel-Based Classification: An Optimized Quantum Support Vector Classifier Approach

Xiaoman Liu

Quantum machine learning has emerged as a promising frontier, leveraging the principles of quantum computing to enhance classical algorithms. This paper proposes an optimized Quantum Support Vector Classifier (QSVC) for the classification of the MNIST dataset (a benchmark in handwritten digit recognition). We employ a Chebyshev Parameterized Quantum Circuit (PQC) with an increased number of qubits and layers, and utilize an existing projected quantum kernel method to effectively capture the complex patterns in the data. To enhance model robustness, data augmentation techniques are applied, and dimensionality reduction is performed using Principal Component Analysis (PCA). The proposed QSVC demonstrates competitive accuracy on both the training and testing datasets, highlighting the potential of quantum kernel methods in practical machine learning applications. A comparative analysis with classical Support Vector Machines (SVM) demonstrates the feasibility of quantum methods for high-dimensional classification tasks. Additionally, we investigate the impact of varying the number of qubits in the quantum circuit, providing in-depth insights into the scalability and performance trade-offs of quantum kernel methods.
