This research examines the creation of a hybrid quantum/classical deep learning model for retinal disease classification of diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, and cataracts, as well as normal retinal images. Classical machine learning and medical imaging systems can have difficulties with a level of complexity and subtlety concerning retinal features, which can limit diagnostic accuracy and generalization. To overcome this limitation, this study uses the power of quantum machine learning through a parameterized quantum circuit embedded in classical convolutional neural network (CNN) using PennyLane.
The proposed architecture consists of a four-qubit quantum circuit as a mid-level feature extraction layer in our functionality, where the system can use entanglement and superposition to process the input data in higher-dimensional Hilbert space. The quantum layer and classical comparisons were end-to-end trained with a dataset of approximately 5000 retinal images formatted in an ImageFolder-like structure. The complete architecture was trained and tested in PyTorch on a GPU readied Google Colab environment for processing efficiencies and scalability.
By merging the pattern recognition abilities of CNNs with the expressive power of quantum circuits, this hybrid approach can leverage improved classification accuracy and as well as improved feature extraction from high-dimensional image data. The findings of this research should demonstrate the feasibility and benefits of quantum-enhanced learning models applied to medical imaging, paving a new pathway towards accurate and scalable diagnostics for ophthalmology and beyond.
