arXiv:2605. 14672v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Estimating an $N \times N$ quantum kernel from circuit fidelities requires $\Theta(N^2 S)$ measurement shots, the dominant bottleneck for deployment on near-term hardware.

arXiv:2608. 11396v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Extracting quantum information from a quantum state is a fundamental task of quantum computation, often requiring the estimation of many non-commuting observables under a finite measurement budget.

arXiv:2607. 23044v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Quantum devices are open systems whose dynamics interleave coherent evolution with dissipation, and benchmarking, error mitigation, and error correction all rest on a faithful model of both.

Extracting quantum information from a quantum state is a fundamental task of quantum computation, often requiring the estimation of many non-commuting observables under a finite measurement budget. For both near-term and early fault-tolerant settings, the measurement protocol must balance statistical efficiency against implementation resources such as circuit depth, connectivity, and entangling-gate count.

arXiv:2605. 13268v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Trotter Suzuki product formulas are the standard route to Hamiltonian evolution on noisy intermediate-scale quantum (\NISQ{}) hardware, but their accuracy depends on three coupled choices: term grouping, product-formula order, and time-step allocation.

Circuit cutting lets a large quantum neural network (QNN) run as independent subcircuits on small devices, but rebuilding its outputs by reconstruction carries a classical sampling overhead exponential in the number of cuts - the dominant runtime cost in prior work. We ask whether, for machine-learning tasks, this step is necessary, and replace it with late fusion: each subcircuit is trained and measured independently, and a small classical head combines their outputs - a linear-cost, decision-level combination borrowed from multimodal learning.
arXiv:2606. 20183v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recent quantum vision models-quantum vision transformers and quantum convolutional networks-report two striking but unexplained empirical phenomena: (i) ansatze with more, or more uniformly distributed, entanglement generalize better, and (ii) injecting quantum noise can improve test accuracy rather than degrade it.

arXiv:2606. 28833v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Quantum kernel estimation on near-term hardware is shot-budgeted: every entry of the kernel Gram matrix is a Bernoulli expectation that must be sampled with a finite number of circuit executions.

arXiv:2605. 08446v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Bayesian neural networks are typically trained against the evidence lower bound (ELBO), whose Jensen gap closes only when the variational posterior is exact.

Adaptive Hamiltonian learning is central to calibrating and characterizing quantum devices. In an adaptive controller, choosing the next experiment is itself a computation.
