Fractal dimension predicts quantum kernel collapse in angle-encoded data

A new research paper proposes using the correlation fractal dimension (D2) as a method to determine the optimal qubit budget for angle-encoded quantum kernels. This approach aims to prevent kernel collapse, a phenomenon where the feature map becomes wider than the data's intrinsic dimension. The study demonstrates that encoding D2 coordinates, rather than using broader methods like PCA-95%, keeps the kernel geometrically 'alive' and matches exact kernel results on simulators and IBM Quantum hardware.
