The main results identify coherent quantum memory as the resource enabling the usual separation between stabilizer testing and learning, and prove an exponential lower bound for purity testing even when the memory may be left coherent throughout the protocol.

Long-horizon prediction of a chaotic system is governed by fidelity to its invariant measure, and which parts of that measure a learned predictor needs is a physical question not known in advance. We establish a quantum statistical memory advantage for interrogating it. A quantum statistical prior (Q-Prior), trained on...

We study quantum differential privacy (QDP) by defining a notion of the order of informativeness between two pairs of quantum states. In particular, we show that if the hypothesis testing divergence of the one pair dominates over that of the other pair, then this dominance holds for every $f$-divergence. This approach...

We study agnostic tomography of pure bosonic Gaussian states: given copies of an arbitrary $n$-mode bosonic state $\rho$, the goal is to output a pure Gaussian state whose infidelity with $\rho$ is at most $\mathrm{opt} + \epsilon$, where $\mathrm{opt}$ is the minimum infidelity achievable by any pure Gaussian state....

Learning the Hamiltonian of a many-body system from its dynamics is a central task in quantum science, yet the algorithms with the strongest provable guarantees assume some level of quantum control--fast, arbitrary single-qubit gates interleaved with time evolution, and measurements in arbitrary bases--that is beyond t...

Near-term quantum natural language processing (QNLP) experiments often run on classical simulators, so simulator cost is part of the field's practical compute burden, yet accuracy tables do not show it. We measure that cost for a variational quantum classifier (VQC) on binary SST-2 sentiment classification, using Penny...
Gaussian-process limits are powerful in describing overparameterized machine learning models, yet their validity in structured tensor-network architectures remains unclear. Here we analytically present a moment-based approach that identifies precise conditions for the emergence and breakdown of Gaussian universality in...
Preparing quantum states from classical data can cost more than the computation they serve; most loaders tailor a circuit to each input. Here we show that the signals of a real dataset share structure that can be learned once and reused. Our quantum-native loader learns a low-dimensional description of a dataset and pr...

Physics simulators can support the discovery of quantum experiments by predicting the states generated by experimental configurations. When these simulators are computationally expensive, repeated simulator calls can limit the search for experiments that generate a desired quantum state. Here, we develop a physics-insp...
We ask whether a neural network can learn a structure-preserving map from a compressed latent space to a Hilbert-space representation. Using an 8-dimensional autoencoder bottleneck on MNIST and $n$-qubit product-state targets from PCA-based angle encoding, we report four findings. Although the target angles are generat...
Optimization in machine learning is usually expressed through iterative rules that update model parameters using information from the loss landscape. In this work, we study an alternative viewpoint in which parameter optimization is treated as the evolution of a dissipative dynamical system. The model parameters are re...

Building on our earlier program-evolution workflow guided by large language models (LLMs), we study weight-five bivariate bicycle (BB) and perturbed bivariate bicycle (PBB) codes. The resulting catalogue contains 1,142 distinct code proposals, including 1,081 nonbaseline proposals attributable to LLM-generated programs...

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…

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.
