• Abstract: Quantum kernel methods have been actively examined from both theoretical and practical perspectives due to the potential of quantum advantage in machine learning tasks. Despite a provable advantage of fine-tuned quantum kernels for specific problems, widespread practical usage of quantum kernel methods requires resolving the so-called vanishing similarity issue, where exponentially vanishing variance of the quantum kernels causes implementation infeasibility and trainability problems. In this work, we analytically and numerically investigate the vanishing similarity issue in projected quantum kernels with alternating layered ansatzes. We find that variance depends on circuit depth, size of local unitary blocks and initial state, indicating the issue is avoidable if shallow alternating layered ansatzes are used and initial state is not highly entangled. Our work provides some insights into design principles of projected quantum kernels and implies the need for caution when using highly entangled states as input to quantum kernel-based learning models.

  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.
