Abstract:Quantum feature maps offer expressive embeddings for classical learning tasks, and augmenting sparse identification of nonlinear dynamics (SINDy) with such features is a natural but unexplored direction. We introduce \textbf{Q-SINDy}, a quantum-kernel-augmented SINDy framework, and identify a specific failure mode that arises: \emph{coefficient cannibalization}, in which quantum features absorb coefficient mass that rightfully belongs to the polynomial basis, corrupting equation recovery. We derive the exact cannibalization-bias formula $\Delta\xi_P = (P^\top P)^{-1}P^\top Q\,\hat\xi_Q$ and prove that orthogonalizing quantum features against the polynomial column space at fit time eliminates this bias exactly. The claim is verified numerically to machine precision ($<10^{-12}$) on multiple systems. Empirically, across six canonical dynamical systems (Duffing, Van der Pol, Lorenz, Lotka-Volterra, cubic oscillator, Rössler) and three quantum feature map architectures (ZZ-angle encoding, IQP, data re-uploading), orthogonalized Q-SINDy consistently matches vanilla SINDy's structural recovery while uncorrected augmentation degrades true-positive rates by up to 100\%. A refined dynamics-aware diagnostic, $R^2_Q$ for $\dot X$, predicts cannibalization severity with statistical significance (Pearson $r=0.70$, $p=0.023$). An RBF classical-kernel control across 20 hyperparameter configurations fails more severely than any quantum variant, ruling out feature count as the cause. Orthogonalization remains robust under depolarizing hardware noise up to 2\% per gate, and the framework extends without modification to Burgers' equation.
