The Sample Complexity of Learning Lipschitz Operators with respect to Gaussian Measures

The paper investigates how many linear samples are needed to learn Lipschitz operators under Gaussian measures. It establishes both lower and upper bounds on the Hermite polynomial approximation error and shows that the minimal worst‑case error cannot converge algebraically with the number of samples. However, if the covariance operator of the Gaussian measure decays rapidly, convergence rates arbitrarily close to any algebraic rate can be achieved.

Advantage of Sample Complexity in Quantum PAC Learning Requires Inverse Access to State-Preparation Unitaries

The paper investigates whether having only forward access to a state-preparation unitary—without its inverse—can reduce the number of queries needed for quantum PAC learning. By analyzing worst-case scenarios over all compatible unitaries and finite dimensions, the authors prove that the optimal forward-only query complexities for realizable and agnostic learning are θ((d+log(1/δ))/ε) and θ((d+log(1/δ))/ε²), respectively, matching classical and quantum-copy bounds. These results demonstrate that forward-only access offers no asymptotic advantage over classical data or quantum copies, highlighting the essential role of inverse access for any improvement in the realizable setting.
