arXiv:2607. 04598v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Expressive parameterized quantum circuits (PQCs) are often designed under a dilemma: the growth of expressibility and entangling power (EP) that improves Hilbert-space coverage is also expected to randomize an ansatz and activate barren-plateau (BP) conditions.

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:2602. 14735v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The performance of quantum classifiers is typically analyzed through global state distinguishability or the trainability of variational models.

arXiv:2606. 19947v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Reliable quantum control in the presence of decoherence requires policies that combat the effect of environmental noise on the controlled dynamics.

arXiv:2606. 13912v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Neural-network quantum states (NQS) are a leading variational tool for quantum many-body physics, yet their optimization is fragile whenever the ground state carries a non-trivial sign or complex phase structure, a situation generic to gauge fields, broken time-reversal symmetry, and fermionic statistics.

arXiv:2607. 16800v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Variational Quantum Algorithms (VQAs) are a leading paradigm for near-term quantum computing, yet their training suffers from sensitivity to circuit depth, initialization, and landscape pathologies such as barren plateaus.

arXiv:2606. 11673v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Standard dot-product self-attention computes, in a single layer, only pairwise (order-2) interactions between tokens; representing a generic order-$k$ interaction is known to require either super-quadratic resources in one layer or composition across depth.

arXiv:2607. 11095v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Adversarial perturbations threaten machine learning classifiers, including variational quantum classifiers.

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.
By Jian Xu, Delu Zeng, Qibin Zhao
arXiv:2607. 20377v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Quantum-kernel methods encode a dataset's geometry in a Gram matrix, so learning claims on hardware kernels assume the intended geometry survives execution.

arXiv:2606. 11814v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Machine-learning approaches to quantum state tomography can achieve high reconstruction fidelity, but the physical structure used by the trained model often remains implicit.

arXiv:2604. 23743v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Variational quantum circuits train poorly on chaotic forecasting, usually blamed on barren plateaus (exponentially vanishing gradients).
