"powerful tool for quantum machine learning... avoids information bottleneck of sequential networks... high-frequency noise added... lower training loss, better predictions, and more adaptable to complex problems and new datasets... variational quantum circuit layer smooths periodical parts, while classical multi-layered perceptron fills in irregular additions of noise... both layers considered universal approximators... success rides on setting and tuning learning rate, number of layers and neurons in each layer"
