| contents | Hybrid quantum neural networks are increasingly explored for classification, yet it remains unclear how their performance and quantum behavior scale with circuit depth and qubit count. We present a controlled scaling study of hybrid quantum-classical classifiers along two axes: (1) increasing the number of quantum layers L at fixed qubits Q, and (2) increasing the number of qubits Q at fixed depth L. Across multiple datasets, we evaluate predictive performance using Accuracy, PR-AUC, Precision, Recall, and F1, and track quantum-specific metrics (QCE, EEE, QGN) to characterize how quantum properties evolve under scaling. Our results summarize scaling trends, saturation regimes, and dataset-dependent sensitivity, and further analyze how quantum metrics relate to predictive performance. This study provides practical guidance for selecting (Q,L) in hybrid QNN classifiers and establishes a consistent evaluation protocol for scaling analysis. |
