Quantum machine learning performance evaluation for air pollution assessment with benchmarking and comparative analysis using multi-metric scoring and quantum circuit expressibility

This study introduces the MDQ-3L framework to benchmark classical, deep, and quantum machine learning models for air pollution prediction, revealing that while classical models like CatBoost and DBN currently outperform quantum approaches under NISQ constraints, the proposed multi-metric scoring system effectively identifies structural limitations and guides the selection of low-entanglement quantum circuits for future hybrid environmental modeling.
