Symmetry Discovery in Quantum Learning: Observable-Level and Task-Level Inference from Finite Measurements

Read the original on arXiv Machine Learning →

The paper develops a finite‑measurement framework for inferring the symmetry group that a quantum learning model should respect, based on candidate transformations and limited data. It shows that observable‑invisible transformations correspond to the stabilizer of a projected state when the probe span is invariant, and that recovered generators form a valid subgroup with a continuous invisible space identified via its Lie algebra. The authors introduce an unbiased shadow statistic that improves estimation rates, establish optimal gap dependence through a commuting‑qubit lower bound, and provide tools for task validation, bias quantification, and capacity analysis, all illustrated with Ising‑chain calculations.

Watching Quantum Models Think: Hilbert-Space Interpretability in Quantum Transformer Blocks

The paper demonstrates that quantum transformer blocks can be intrinsically interpretable by tracking quantum mutual information, entanglement entropy, and state fidelity across layers. Experiments on four synthetic tasks show that learned mutual information aligns with task structure, entanglement is essential for accuracy, and mutual information predicts prediction correctness. These findings are validated on IBM Quantum hardware, illustrating that quantum computation’s physics can provide observable interpretability signals.
