• Abstract: Quantum machine learning (QML) aims to use quantum computers to enhance machine learning, but it is often limited by the required number of samples due to quantum noise and statistical limits on expectation value estimates. While efforts are made to reduce quantum noise, less attention is given to boosting the quality of the discrete outputs from Variational Quantum Classifiers (VQCs) to reduce the number of samples needed to make confident predictions. This paper focuses on output representations in multi-class classification, introducing a new mapping of qubit measurements to edges of an n-dimensional simplex, representing independent binary decisions between each pair of classes. We describe this mapping and demonstrate how it offers a direct improvement to the number of valid circuit output samples as well as the accuracy of those outputs over one-hot encoding while advocating for few-sample accuracy as a primary goal for effective VQCs.

• Robust quantum classifier with minimal overhead [0.8057006406834467]
  Several quantum algorithms for binary classification based on the kernel method have been proposed. These algorithms rely on estimating an expectation value, which in turn requires an expensive quantum data encoding procedure to be repeated many times. We show that the kernel-based binary classification can be performed with a single-qubit measurement regardless of the number and the dimension of the data.
