Abstract

This research presents a new hybrid model that combines the capabilities of a pre-trained ResNet-50 with a Quantum Neural Network (QNN) to enhance the classification of MRI brain images for tumor recognition. Combining conventional deep learning and quantum computing, this technique competes with traditional models regarding accuracy, speed, and computational effectiveness. The ResNet-50 architecture is the foundation for feature extraction, using its demonstrated ability to handle challenging MRI image data. ResNet-50's linear layer weights are converted into angular parameters to take advantage of the potential of quantum computing, allowing the quantum layer to function within a six-angle depth framework. This unique integration allows the model to efficiently execute binary classification and multi-class tumor detection. The hybrid model outperforms conventional models, providing quicker processing speeds and higher classification accuracy, especially when dealing with high-dimensional and noisy data. The model optimizes 512-dimensional data using four qubits, allowing for improved feature representation and better insights into complicated medical imaging patterns. The quantum layer's resistance to noise enhances the model's accuracy, establishing a new standard for medical diagnostic tools. This novel integration of classical and quantum approaches offers a significant advance in MRI-based tumor identification, providing higher performance and opening the path for…
