Exploring the Effects of Entanglement on Quantum Machine Learning of Pathogen Epitope-Receptor Binding
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. Here we study how the number and topology of two-qubit entangling gates in the feature-map stage influence a fixed hybrid QNN workflow for classifying strong versus weak epitope-receptor binding in Porcine Reproductive and Re
