- Abstract: Free fermions are some of the best studied quantum systems. However, little is known about the complexity of learning free-fermion distributions. In this work we establish the hardness of this task in the particle number non-preserving case. In particular, we give an information theoretical hardness result for the general task of learning from expectation values and, in the more general case when the algorithm is given access to samples, we give a computational hardness result based on the LPN assumption for learning the probability density function.

Information theory provides tools to predict the performance of a learning algorithm on a given dataset.
This work first extends this relationship by demonstrating that a small conditional entropy is also sufficient for successful learning.
This connection between information theory and learning suggests that we might similarly apply quantum information theory to characterize learning tasks involving quantum systems.

Estimating the entropy of probability distributions and quantum states is a fundamental task in information processing.
We show that entropy estimation for distributions or states produced by either log-depth circuits or constant-depth circuits with gates of bounded fan-in and unbounded fan-out is at least as hard as the Learning with Errors problem.

We show that if the bound on the accuracy is taken into account, quantum machine learning algorithms for supervised learning cannot achieve polylogarithmic runtimes in the input dimension.
We conclude that, when no further assumptions on the problem are made, quantum machine learning algorithms for supervised learning can have at most speedups over efficient classical algorithms.
