contents Embedding high-dimensional data into resource-limited quantum devices remains a significant challenge for practical quantum machine learning. In multimodal face anti-spoofing, while linear compression methods such as principal component analysis can reduce dimensionality to accommodate limited quantum budgets, such approaches often lose critical high-order cross-modal correlations due to the loss of structural information. To this end, we propose a hybrid Matrix Product State (MPS)-Variational Quantum Circuit (VQC) framework, where the MPS serves as a structured, differentiable pre-quantum compression and fusion module, and the VQC acts as the quantum classifier. Built upon the low-rank structure controlled by the virtual bond dimension and integrated with a configurable nonlinear enhancement mechanism, this MPS module explicitly models long-range cross-modal correlations while compressing multimodal data into a compact representation matching the quantum budget and improving numerical stability under extreme compression. Experiments on the CASIA-SURF benchmark demonstrate that MPS-VQC achieves accuracy comparable to strong classical neural network baselines with fewer than 0.25M parameters, highlighting the parameter efficiency of tensor-network representations for high-dimensional multimodal data under tight resource budgets. Leveraging the intrinsic compatibility between MPS structures and quantum circuit topology, this framework not only provides a viable technological pathway for efficient multimodal anti-spoofing on NISQ devices but also serves as a stepping stone toward fully quantum implementations of such tasks in the future.
