Researchers have identified a representational limitation in amplitude encoding for quantum neural networks (QNNs), where inputs differing by a nonzero real scaling cannot be distinguished. This invariance, stemming from normalization, restricts the hypothesis class of QNNs. The study proposes a fixed nonlinear feature map that overcomes this bottleneck, allowing for the distinction of all real inputs while maintaining logarithmic qubit scaling. When evaluated on classification benchmarks, QNNs using this new encoding demonstrated a 21-44% improvement in classification accuracy compared to conventional amplitude and angle encoding methods.
