• Abstract: This study explores the intersection of continuous-variable quantum computing (CVQC) and classical machine learning, focusing on CVQC data encoding techniques, including Displacement encoding and squeezing encoding, alongside Instantaneous Quantum Polynomial (IQP) encoding from discrete quantum computing. We perform an extensive empirical analysis to assess the impact of these encoding methods on classical machine learning models, such as Logistic Regression, Support Vector Machines, K-Nearest Neighbors, and ensemble methods like Random Forest and LightGBM. Our findings indicate that CVQC-based encoding methods significantly enhance feature expressivity, resulting in improved classification accuracy and F1 scores, especially in high-dimensional and complex datasets. However, these improvements come with varying computational costs, which depend on the complexity of the encoding and the architecture of the machine learning models. Additionally, we examine the trade-off between quantum expressibility and classical learnability, offering valuable insights into the practical feasibility of incorporating these quantum encodings into real-world applications. This study contributes to the growing body of research on quantum-classical hybrid learning, emphasizing the role of CVQC in advancing quantum data representation and its integration into classical machine learning workflows.

  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.
