• Abstract: The performance of Quantum Autoencoders (QAEs) in anomaly detection tasks is critically dependent on the choice of data embedding and ansatz design. This study explores the effects of three data embedding techniques, data re-uploading, parallel embedding, and alternate embedding, on the representability and effectiveness of QAEs in detecting anomalies. Our findings reveal that even with relatively simple variational circuits, enhanced data embedding strategies can substantially improve anomaly detection accuracy and the representability of underlying data across different datasets. Starting with toy examples featuring low-dimensional data, we visually demonstrate the effect of different embedding techniques on the representability of the model. We then extend our analysis to complex, higher-dimensional datasets, highlighting the significant impact of embedding methods on QAE performance.

  Adrial examples, or nearly indistinguishable inputs created by an attacker, significantly reduce machine learning accuracy.
