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.

Classical Hardness of Learning Functions of Hamiltonians

arXiv:2610. 01141v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Morohoshi, Nakayama, Manabe, and Mitarai proposed a physically motivated quantum machine learning problem in which the goal is to predict quantities of the form $\operatorname{Tr}[f(H)\rho]$ from classical descriptions of a Hamiltonian $H$ and a quantum state $\rho$, where $f$ is an unknown function.

Sparse Priors for Efficient Distribution Learning

arXiv:2609. 20883v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Despite the widespread use and success of generative AI techniques today, theoretical guarantees on learning a distribution supported in $d$ dimensions from $n$ samples degrade as $O(n^{-1/\Theta(d)})$, though shown to be minimax optimal.
