Quantum-enhanced satellite image classification

Feb 20, 2026

This work addresses the challenge of insufficient accuracy in multi-class satellite image classification for high-stakes remote sensing applications by proposing a hybrid quantum-classical approach. The method leverages many-body spin Hamiltonians to generate quantum features on an IBM quantum processor, which are then fused with a ResNet50 transfer learning model. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first demonstration of reproducible quantum-enhanced performance on a real-world satellite imagery task, overcoming recent limitations of near-term quantum devices in practical machine learning. Experimental results show that the proposed approach improves classification accuracy from the ResNet50 baseline of 83% to 87%, achieving an absolute gain of 2–3 percentage points.
