• Abstract: In this work, we investigate the role of generalized fidelity measures in the derivation of quantum speed limits (QSLs) within a geometric approach. We establish a general theoretical structure and demonstrate that, once a specific generalized fidelity is selected, the resulting Margolus-Levitin and Mandelstam-Tamm bounds for both unitary and non-unitary (Lindblad-type) dynamics depend solely on the chosen fidelity measure. These bounds are shown to be entirely independent of the particular choice of monotonic and differentiable functionals of the selected fidelity. This result highlights the limitations of improving QSL bounds through functional transformations of fidelity and indicates that genuine improvements must stem from alternative fidelity definitions. We further show that several bounds found in the literature are encompassed by our framework. We also discuss how our results can be naturally extended by considering other generalized fidelity measures beyond those explicitly treated

  We show that expressive variational ansatze enter a Haar-like universality class in which both observable expectation values and parameter gradients concentrate exponentially with system size.<n>As a consequence, the hypothesis class induced by such circuits collapses with high probability to a narrow family of near-constant functions.<n>We further show that this collapse is not unavoidable: tensor-structured VQCs, including tensor-network-based and tensor-hypernetwork parameterizations, lie outside the Haar-like universality class.
