Variational quantum algorithms, a popular heuristic for near-term computers, utilize parameterized circuits which naturally express Lie groups. It has been postulated that many properties of variational algorithms can be understood by studying their corresponding groups, chief among them the presence vanishing gradients or barren plateaus, but theoretical derivation lacking. Using tools from representation theory compact we formulate plateaus whose observables lie in dynamical algebra,...

Exploiting the power of quantum computation to realize superior machine learning algorithms has been a major research focus recent years, but prospects (QML) remain dampened by considerable technical challenges. A particularly significant issue is that generic QML models suffer from so-called barren plateaus in their training landscapes—large regions where cost function gradients vanish exponentially number qubits employed, rendering large effectively untrainable. leading strategy for...

We introduce several probabilistic quantum algorithms that overcome the normal unitary restrictions in machine learning by leveraging linear combination of unitaries (LCU) method. cover three distinct topics, beginning with native implementations residual networks (ResNets). demonstrate while connections between layers a variational can prevent barren plateaus models, this approach is accompanied trade-off success probability. Second, we implement analogue average-pooling from convolutional...

Quantum machine learning (QML) is emerging as an application of quantum computing with the potential to deliver advantage, but its realization for practical applications remains impeded by challenges. Among these, a key barrier computationally expensive task encoding classical data into state, which could erase any prospective speedups over algorithms. In this study, we implement methods efficient preparation states representing encoded image using variational, genetic, and matrix product...

Using tools from the representation theory of compact Lie groups, we formulate a Barren Plateaus (BPs) for parameterized quantum circuits whose observables lie in their dynamical algebra (DLA), setting that term Supported Ansatz (LASA). A large variety commonly used ans\"atze such as Hamiltonian Variational Ansatz, Quantum Alternating Operator and many equivariant neural networks are LASAs. In particular, our provides, first time, ability to compute variance gradient cost function compound...

Ensuring data privacy in machine learning models is critical, particularly distributed settings where model gradients are typically shared among multiple parties to allow collaborative learning. Motivated by the increasing success of recovering input from classical models, this study addresses a central question: How hard it recover quantum models? Focusing on variational circuits (VQC) as we uncover crucial role played dynamical Lie algebra (DLA) VQC ansatz determining vulnerabilities....

In this work, we introduce variational quantum circuit model built using expressive encoding maps coupled overparameterized ans\"atze. We show that lead inherent privacy against gradient inversion attacks, while...

Quantum Computing offers a potentially powerful new method for performing Machine Learning. However, several Learning techniques have been shown to exhibit poor generalisation as the number of qubits increases. We address this issue by demonstrating permutation invariant quantum encoding method, which exhibits superior performance, and apply it point cloud data (three-dimensional images composed points). Point clouds naturally contain symmetry with respect ordering their points, making them...
