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:2607. 01329v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The geometric and topological structure of quantum cost landscapes (QCLs) governs the optimization and thus the predictive power of variational quantum algorithms (VQAs).

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. 11013v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Data re-uploading parameterized quantum circuits (DRU-PQCs) are universal function approximators, yet their expressivity produces oscillatory, non-convex loss landscapes that resist gradient-based optimization.

arXiv:2608. 14941v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Counting the global optima of a classical optimization problem is a #P-hard task.

arXiv:2607. 03278v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Topological data analysis (TDA) is a machine learning technique that uses topology to extract patterns from data and has shown the potential to exhibit quantum advantage.

arXiv:2605. 03573v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Score-based diffusion can be defined intrinsically on the manifold of quantum pure states, $\mathbb{CP}^{d-1}$ with the Fubini--Study metric, but no closed-form transition density is available, so the score must be supervised by a local-time teacher taken from the Euclidean limit of the diffusion in normal coordinates.

arXiv:2607. 09893v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Sampling from discrete Markov random fields (MRFs) is a hard problem.

arXiv:2606. 30358v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We design an algorithm for learning the coefficients of an $n$-qubit constant-local Lindbladian to $\varepsilon$ error with $O(g d^2 \log(n) / \varepsilon^2)$ total evolution time, where $g$ is the single-site energy and $d$ is the (approximate) degree of the interaction graph.
