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. 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:2607. 07978v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Quantum reservoir computing uses a fixed quantum circuit as a feature generator and trains only a simple linear readout on top of it.

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: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:2604. 23931v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Variational quantum circuits (VQCs) are a leading approach to quantum machine learning on near-term devices, yet it remains unclear which circuit architecture yields the best accuracy-parameter trade-off on classical tabular data.

arXiv:2607. 12780v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Quantum circuit optimization for fault-tolerant computing requires exact functional equivalence while minimizing expensive non-Clifford resources such as T gates.

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:2608. 04252v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The dynamical Lie algebraic (DLA) theory of variational quantum algorithms (VQAs) predicts commonplace exponentially vanishing loss and gradient variances for sufficiently deep parametrized circuits.

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:2607. 20943v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Quantum Phase Estimation (QPE) is a foundational algorithm for molecular ground-state energy estimation, but its deep circuit requirements make direct hardware execution impractical on Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) devices.

Quantum circuit optimization for fault-tolerant computing requires exact functional equivalence while minimizing expensive non-Clifford resources such as T gates. We study this problem using a compact 44.
