Encoding Choice Is Associated with Large Differences in Variational Quantum Classifier Performance on Cancer Data Under a Fixed Training Budget

Variational quantum classifiers (VQCs) are often reported to perform poorly on biomedical tabular data, but such conclusions depend on the encoding circuit, the training budget, and the comparison protocol. Methods. We compared 4-qubit VQCs, a quantum-kernel SVM (QSVM), a majorit...
