Qkabrine: A Joint Architecture, Encoding, and Hyperparameter Search Framework for Quantum Machine Learning

A published white paper introducing qkabrine-automl, a jointly searchable Quantum Machine Learning framework spanning circuit architecture, data encoding, model type and training hyperparameters, with trainability diagnostics integrated into evaluation.

Research record

Abstract / overview

Qkabrine-automl treats circuit architecture, encoding, model type and training hyperparameters as one jointly searchable configuration space rather than separately tuned stages. The framework evaluates candidates through a consistent harness and supports multiple search strategies, while optional DQFIM estimation and barren-plateau monitoring help identify poorly trainable circuits before full training.\n\nThe paper positions qkabrine-automl within the existing AutoQML literature as a lightweight, PennyLane-native contribution with integrated trainability diagnostics, post-search circuit simplification and OpenQASM export. Its reported experiment is intentionally presented as a small reproducible illustrative run rather than evidence of performance superiority over classical baselines or competing AutoQML systems.
