Summary

Unit quaternions turned rotation updates into depth-one bilinear operations.

The protocol expresses quantum-circuit rotations in a unit-quaternion chart, making composition bilinear and federated averaging free of multiplicative depth in leveled homomorphic schemes. Tests across two cryptographic backends report negligible aggregation error and a 20-client study found no measurable utility loss. A 156-qubit hardware run reached 0.9918 fidelity against a 0.99957 unencrypted control; the claims apply to the encoded update class and experimental setup.
