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. 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:2607. 25492v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We study stochastic optimization with heavy-tailed gradient noise.

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. 13422v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We develop theoretical foundations for a practical quantum-advantage mechanism in quantum-informed machine learning for chaotic dynamical systems.

arXiv:2605. 25303v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The $2 \rightarrow q$ norm of a matrix $X \in \mathbb{R}^{n \times d}$ is defined as $\lVert X \rVert_{2 \rightarrow q} = \sup_{\lVert v \rVert_2 = 1} \lVert Xv \rVert_q$.

arXiv:2504. 05336v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: A recurring weakness in quantum machine learning (QML) is that reported ``quantum advantages'' are seldom tested against a \emph{capacity-matched} classical control, leaving it unclear whether a gain comes from the quantum substrate or from the architectural change that accompanies it.

arXiv:2607. 09906v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We present, to our knowledge, the first adaptation of Pauli Correlation Encoding (PCE) to quantum topological data analysis, reformulating Betti number estimation as a depth-efficient variational optimization over a compressed qubit register.

arXiv:2606. 07931v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We prove a variance-aware pointwise majorizing-measure theorem for centered Gaussian processes.

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

arXiv:2606. 01291v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Training Variational Quantum Circuits (VQCs) under Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) constraints introduces severe computational limitations: classical statevector simulation memory scales exponentially ($\mathcal{O}(2^n)$), and global cost functions suffer from barren plateaus where gradient variance decays exponentially ($\mathcal{O}(1/2^n)$).
