• Abstract: In Ref. Ansari et al., dynamical quantum phase transitions (DQPTs) -- non-analyticities in the Loschmidt return rate at critical times -- are investigated in the presence of noise for a two-band model. The authors report that DQPTs persist even after averaging over the noise and they use their results to derive dynamical phase diagrams. In this comment we rigorously prove that in any two-dimensional Hilbert space the Loschmidt echo of two density matrices can only become zero if and only if both density matrices are pure. As a consequence, the existence of DQPTs in the considered scenario is strictly ruled out for non-zero noise because the considered averaging leads to a mixed state. We also investigate alternative natural ways to average over noise realizations and show that in all of them DQPTs are smoothed out.

  We consider clipped optimization problems with heavy-tailed noise with structured density. We show that it is possible to get faster rates of convergence than $mathcalO(K-(alpha - 1)/alpha)$, when the gradients have finite moments of order. We prove that the resulting estimates have negligible bias and controllable variance.

  In variational quantum algorithms the parameters of a parameterized quantum circuit are optimized in order to minimize a cost function that encodes the solution of the problem. We discuss how, and in which sense, the phenomenon of noise-induced barren plateaus emerges in parameterized quantum circuits with a layered noise model.

  We investigate the implicit regularization effects of label noises under mini-batch sampling settings of gradient descent. We find such implicit regularizer would favor some convergence points that could stabilize model outputs against perturbation of parameters. Our work doesn't assume SGD as an Ornstein-Uhlenbeck like process and achieve a more general result with convergence of approximation proved.

• Dynamical transitions from slow to fast relaxation in random open quantum systems [0.0]
  We study a model in which the system Hamiltonian and its couplings to the noise are random matrices whose entries decay as power laws of distance. The steady state is always featureless, but the rate at which it is approached exhibits three phases depending on $alpha_H$ and $alpha_L$. Within perturbation theory, the phase boundaries in the $(alpha_H, alpha_L)$ plane differ for weak and strong dissipation, suggesting phase transitions as a function of noise strength.

  Noise in gradient descent provides a crucial implicit regularization effect for training over parameterized models. We show that parameter-dependent noise -- induced by mini-batches or label perturbation -- is far more effective than Gaussian noise. Our analysis reveals that parameter-dependent noise introduces a bias towards local minima with smaller noise variance, whereas spherical Gaussian noise does not.
