Abstract

Quantum Computing is becoming a central point of discussion in both academic and industrial communities. Quantum Machine Learning is one of the most promising subfields of this technology, in particular for image classification. In this paper, the model of Quantum Convolutional Neural Networks and some related implementations are explored in their potential for a non-trivial task of image classification. The paper presents some experimentations and discusses the limitations and the strengths of these approaches when compared with classical Convolutional Neural Networks. Furthermore, an analysis of the impact of the noise level on the quality of the classification task has been performed. This paper reports a substantial equivalence of the perfomance of the model with respect the level of noise. Copyright © 2025 by SCITEPRESS - Science and Technology Publications, Lda.
