A Staged Ablation Study of Quantum Convolution and Variational Quantum Classification Placement in Hybrid CNNs for Brain Tumor MRI Classification
It is argued that the staged ablation methodology — rather than a single best-accuracy claim — constitutes the paper's principal novelty: a reusable protocol for empirically localizing where, in a CNN pipeline, quantum layers help versus hurt.
