• Abstract: Recent years have seen significant activity on the problem of using data for the purpose of learning properties of quantum systems or of processing classical or quantum data via quantum computing. As in classical learning, quantum learning problems involve settings in which the mechanism generating the data is unknown, and the main goal of a learning algorithm is to ensure satisfactory accuracy levels when only given access to data and, possibly, side information such as expert knowledge. This article reviews the complexity of quantum learning using information-theoretic techniques by focusing on data complexity, copy complexity, and model complexity. Copy complexity arises from the destructive nature of quantum measurements, which irreversibly alter the state to be processed, limiting the information that can be extracted about quantum data. For example, in a quantum system, unlike in classical machine learning, it is generally not possible to evaluate the training loss simultaneously on multiple hypotheses using the same quantum data. To make the paper self-contained and approachable by different research communities, we provide extensive background material on classical results from statistical learning theory, as well as on the distinguishability of quantum states. Throughout, we highlight the differences between quantum and classical learning by addressing both supervised and unsupervised learning, and we provide extensive pointers to the literature.

• Few measurement shots challenge generalization in learning to classify entanglement [0.0]
  This paper focuses on hybrid quantum learning techniques where classical machine-learning methods are paired with quantum algorithms. We show that, in some settings, the uncertainty coming from a few measurement shots can be the dominant source of errors. We introduce an estimator based on classical shadows that performs better in the big data, few copy regime.

• Efficient Learning for Linear Properties of Bounded-Gate Quantum Circuits [63.733312560668274]
  Given a quantum circuit containing d tunable RZ gates and G-d Clifford gates, can a learner perform purely classical inference to efficiently predict its linear properties? We prove that the sample complexity scaling linearly in d is necessary and sufficient to achieve a small prediction error, while the corresponding computational complexity may scale exponentially in d. We devise a kernel-based learning model capable of trading off prediction error and computational complexity, transitioning from exponential to scaling in many practical settings.

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.
