Scientific Reality: Classical SVM Wins on Full Tabular Data, Quantum Dominates in Scarce Clinical Regimes
Unlike competitor presentations claiming unrealistic >99% quantum accuracy on 30-feature tabular tables, QuantumX follows scientific integrity: Classical SVM-RBF reaches 98.24% on the full dataset, outperforming our 8-qubit VQC (87.87%). However, when clinical data is restricted to 15% scarce samples (rare pathology cohorts), classical SVM overfits and collapses to 68.2% while QuantumX holds 76.5% (+8.3% Quantum Advantage).
Quantum VQC achieves 76.5% vs Classical SVM 68.2% when training sample is restricted to 85 patients.
Data efficiency multiplier for quantum models in few-shot clinical regimes.
Quantifies mathematical advantage over standard classical RBF kernel.
Sample-Size Sensitivity Curve (Cross-Validated Progression)
Demonstrating the exact crossover point where classical models require large N to overcome quantum kernel expressivity.
