• Abstract: Parameterized quantum circuits have been extensively used as the basis for machine learning models in regression, classification, and generative tasks. For supervised learning, their expressivity has been thoroughly investigated and several universality properties have been proven. However, in the case of quantum generative modelling, much less is known, especially when the task is to model distributions over continuous variables. In this work, we elucidate expectation value sampling-based models. Such models output the expectation values of a set of fixed observables from a quantum circuit into which classical random data has been uploaded. We prove the universality of such variational quantum algorithms for the generation of multivariate distributions. We explore various architectures which allow universality and prove tight bounds connecting the minimal required qubit number, and the minimal required number of measurements needed. Our results may help guide the design of future quantum circuits in generative modelling tasks.

  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.

The observed random ensembles emerge from projective measurements and are intimately linked to universal correlations built up between subsystems of a larger quantum system. Our work has implications for understanding randomness in quantum dynamics, and enables applications of this concept in a wider context.
