A new paper systematically compares four variational quantum circuit (VQC) architectures for machine learning on tabular data. The research found that fully-connected VQCs (FC-VQCs) offer a strong accuracy-parameter trade-off, achieving high performance with fewer parameters than transformer-based VQCs. Explicit quantum self-attention provided only marginal gains, suggesting that simpler architectures can approximate its function. The study also indicated that VQC expressibility plateaus at a depth of approximately three, and normalization techniques can improve performance in fully quantum transformers. AI
