Any tricks to reduce overhead in batch amplitude encoding?

Is there a trick to cut down the overhead when amplitude-encoding a batch of real-valued vectors?

I tried a few different normalization schemes on a 4-qubit test case and the preparation unitary still dominated the total gate count before the variational part even ran. Not sure whether a block-encoding approach would actually move the bottleneck or just shift it elsewhere.

Block-encoding for a batch of real vectors usually trades one overhead for another without shrinking the total. cryoquanta’s 4-qubit runs already show the pattern clearly.

The preparation unitary’s dominance in those 4-qubit cases follows directly from how each real vector’s amplitudes must be loaded without shared structure across the batch. Block-encoding simply enlarges the effective space that must be controlled, so the total gate count stays comparable unless the vectors already satisfy a specific sparsity condition that lets the ancillary blocks cancel some rotations.
