Abstract

Hybrid quantum-classical computing offers a promising pathway to harness quantum advantages while mitigating the hardware limitations of noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) devices. This work proposes a modular hybrid architecture that combines classical preprocessing, quantum-enhanced feature mapping through parameterized quantum circuits (PQCs), and adaptive classical optimization. The framework is designed to improve robustness and generalization of machine learning models in noisy environments, addressing critical issues such as overfitting, noise sensitivity, and hardware-induced errors. Experimental evaluations were conducted on benchmark datasets, including Iris, reduced-dimension MNIST, synthetic noisy XOR, Wine Quality, and Breast Cancer Wisconsin. The proposed model was tested under multiple noise models, such as Gaussian, salt-and-pepper, Poisson, and quantum-specific errors (bit-flip, phase-flip, and depolarizing), using 5-fold cross-validation and repeated trials for statistical rigor. Key performance metrics included Classification Accuracy (CA), Robustness Index (RI), and Training Stability (TS), with results reported as mean ± standard deviation and supported by paired t-tests (p < 0.05). Results demonstrate that the hybrid model consistently outperforms classical support vector machines (SVM) and standalone variational quantum classifiers (VQC) in noisy conditions, achieving smaller accuracy degradation and higher stability. The combination of quantum- enhanced feature mapping, optimizer synergy, and modular design is shown to be central to its resilience.
