Facial classification Using Hybrid Quantum Machine Learning
Hybrid quantum methods have received limited study for resource-constrained facial biometrics. We present a hybrid quantum-classical facial recognition pipeline designed to run on standard computing hardware. Images undergo gamma correction, contrast enhancement, and principal component analysis before their features are encoded into an eight-qubit variational quantum classifier. Classical image matching then performs recognition. In experiments with 50,000 images, comprising 25,000 faces from CelebA and 25,000 non-face images from CIFAR-10, the method outperformed the reported CPU-trained FaceNet baseline in accuracy and training efficiency. The pipeline was also evaluated on GPU and qua...
