Quantum ML research finds magnitude-only encoding outperforms phase in hybrid models

A new research paper explores the encoding of complex-valued Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data in quantum machine learning models. The study found that magnitude-only encoding surprisingly outperformed phase-inclusive methods in hybrid quantum-classical models, achieving high accuracy on benchmark datasets. However, in purely quantum models, phase information became crucial for discrimination, significantly improving performance. AI
