• Abstract summary: In this work, we explore a quantum machine learning model with a deep parameterized quantum circuit. We find that parameters of a deep enough quantum circuit do not move much from its initial values during training. Such a deep variational quantum machine learning can be described by another emergent kernel, quantum tangent kernel.

• Abstract: Quantum kernel method is one of the key approaches to quantum machine learning, which has the advantages that it does not require optimization and has theoretical simplicity. By virtue of these properties, several experimental demonstrations and discussions of the potential advantages have been developed so far. However, as is the case in classical machine learning, not all quantum machine learning models could be regarded as kernel methods. In this work, we explore a quantum machine learning model with a deep parameterized quantum circuit and aim to go beyond the conventional quantum kernel method. In this case, the representation power and performance are expected to be enhanced, while the training process might be a bottleneck because of the barren plateaus issue. However, we find that parameters of a deep enough quantum circuit do not move much from its initial values during training, allowing first-order expansion with respect to the parameters. This behavior is similar to the neural tangent kernel in the classical literatures, and such a deep variational quantum machine learning can be described by another emergent kernel, quantum tangent kernel. Numerical simulations show that the proposed quantum tangent kernel outperforms the conventional quantum kernel method for an ansatz-generated dataset. This work provides a new direction beyond the conventional quantum kernel method and explores potential power of quantum machine learning with deep parameterized quantum circuits.

  We quantify the performances of quantum machine learning in the landscape of quantum data. We find that the training efficiency and generalization capabilities in quantum machine learning will be exponentially suppressed with the increase in qubits. Our findings apply to both the quantum kernel method and the large-width limit of quantum neural networks.

  We show that quantum kernels suffer from exponential "flattening" of the spectrum as the number of qubits grows. We provide extensive numerical evidence for this phenomenon utilizing multiple previously studied quantum feature maps and both synthetic and real data. Our results show that unless novel techniques are developed to control the inductive bias of quantum kernels, they are unlikely to provide a quantum advantage on classical data.

  Variational quantum circuits have been widely employed in quantum simulation and quantum machine learning in recent years. However, quantum circuits with random structures have poor trainability due to the exponentially vanishing gradient with respect to the circuit depth and the qubit number. This result leads to a general belief that deep quantum circuits will not be feasible for practical tasks.
