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:2605. 30952v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Two recent results have reshaped quantum Gaussian processes (QGPs).
arXiv:2607. 01080v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We investigate Gaussian process (GP) bandit optimization with quantum kernels, assuming the mean reward function lies in the reproducing kernel Hilbert space (RKHS) induced by the quantum kernel.
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: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:2503. 17020v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Kernel methods compare inputs through feature maps.
arXiv:2607. 19782v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Kernel methods are powerful tools in machine learning but commonly used full-Gram kernels face three key limitations: (1) quadratic scaling with training set size; (2) the use of fixed, non-trainable kernels; and (3) the absence of an intrinsic formulation for multiclass classification.
arXiv:2508. 19437v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The importance of analyzing nontrivial datasets when testing quantum machine learning (QML) models is becoming increasingly prominent in literature, yet a cohesive framework for understanding dataset characteristics remains elusive.
arXiv:2608. 15617v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Machine-learning detectors for power-system cyberattacks are themselves attack surfaces, and quantum machine learning has been proposed for them.
arXiv:2608. 17069v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Federated deployments of variational quantum classifiers are attractive for cross-organisation risk prediction in supply chains, because raw data never leaves the client, yet data-protection regulations such as the GDPR grant clients a right to request that their contribution be removed from a trained model after the fact.
arXiv:2607. 11095v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Adversarial perturbations threaten machine learning classifiers, including variational quantum classifiers.
arXiv:2608. 06846v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We test whether a parameterized quantum circuit (PQC) improves a hybrid quantum-classical model's performance on classical datasets, using an interface-matched classical map as the control while holding all other components fixed.
