Comparative Study of Quantum and Classical Machine Learning Models in Binary Classification

It is indicated that for small structured datasets, classifiers based on quantum computing have not yet surpassed well-tuned classical counterparts, though not on malignant-class recall, where the VQC in particular performed worse than the classical baselines.

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

These proof-of-concept results, obtained on small synthetic tasks, suggest that the physics of quantum computation can provide intrinsic interpretability signals with no direct classical counterpart, motivating study of whether this advantage persists at scale.

Physics-Informed Classical and Quantum Neural Networks for One-Dimensional Schrodinger Eigenvalue Problems

The Schrodinger equation in one spatial dimension admits a small set of exactly solvable potentials that serve as natural proving grounds for any new eigenvalue solver. We formulate Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs) and Physics-Informed Quantum Neural Networks (PIQNNs) for the time-independent Schrodinger equati...

Provable Quantum--Classical Separation for Continuous Gibbs Sampling

We prove the first quantum--classical separation for a sampling problem over a continuous domain. For a class of Gibbs states $p\propto e^{-\beta E}$ on the torus $\mathbb{T}^d$ with smooth ($s$-Gevrey) potential and barrier amplitude $\alpha=e^{\beta\Delta}$, where $\Delta = \max E-\min E$, every classical algorithm--...

Guiding Agents of Quantum Games to Equilibrium using Matrix Exponential Fixed-Point Iteration

This paper considers an extended Gutoski-Watrous game in which each player's quantum strategy is represented by a local density matrix, and derives tensor-contraction expressions for the payoff functions and their gradients, thereby avoiding the explicit construction of the full joint density matrix.

Weighted Quantum Signal Processing: Low-Depth Polynomial Approximation with Applications to Kolmogorov-Arnold Networks

Weighted Quantum Signal Processing is introduced, an extension of QSP in which a weight function is assigned to the central rotation operator, which provides a deeper understanding of QSP and yields expressive and parameter-efficient neural architectures, highlighting the potential of WQSP as a scalable primitive for q...

From Trainability Diagnostics to Optimization Claims: Boundaries and Controls in Variational Quantum Optimization

Barren plateau diagnostics characterize whether gradient signal remains available for training, but surviving signal need not translate into successful optimization. We study this trainability--optimization gap at the level of optimizer steps. Treating coefficient-weighted Hamiltonian-term gradients as task-like compon...

Do Quantum Models Scale Like LLMs?

In this work, we study the neural scaling laws of RydbergGPT, an autoregressive transformer model trained on qubit projective measurement data gathered from interacting Rydberg atom arrays. The quantum system is known to exhibit a finite-size remnant of a critical point as the laser detuning parameter is varied. We fin...

A Quantum/Classical Example Oracle Separation for Making Things Up

There are distributions that can be efficiently generated by a quantum learner with access to quantum samples, but not by a quantum learner with access to only classical samples, making progress to answering this question in the affirmative.

Interactive proofs for verifying (quantum) learning and testing

It is proved that a resource-constrained learner cannot gain any advantage through classical interaction with an untrusted prover, and it is shown that for the vast majority of testing and learning problems, a memory-constrained quantum algorithm cannot overcome its limitations via classical communication with a memory...

TetrisCNN for interpretable detection of phases of matter from experimental quantum simulator data

TetrisCNN is introduced, a convolutional architecture with parallel branches of differently shaped filters, reminiscent of Tetris blocks, that learns sparse, interpretable latent representations directly in terms of spin correlators, and opens the way to integrating interpretable neural networks with quantum simulators...

Solving a 31-year-old grand challenge in mathematics – the KLS conjecture

For decades, a fundamental question about the difficulty of computing in high-dimensional spaces has resisted proof. New research resolves this question, removing a major theoretical obstacle to understanding the efficiency of randomized algorithms used across science and computing. The Kannan–Lovász–Simonovits (KLS) conjecture was proposed in 1995. It asks whether, for a broad class of high-dimensional […] The post Solving a 31-year-old grand challenge in mathematics – the KLS conjecture appear…

Proof-based general-purpose computing with Magnetar

Zero-knowledge proofs can verify computing results without rerunning workloads or exposing sensitive data. Magnetar helps bring them into the mainstream with support for standard programming languages, major speed gains, and quantum-resistant security. The post Proof-based general-purpose computing with Magnetar appeared first on Microsoft Research.
