    Classical shadows with Pauli-invariant unitary ensembles

    Classical shadows provide a noise-resilient and sample-efficient method for learning quantum system properties, relying on a user-specified unitary ensemble. What is the weakest assumption on this ensemble tha...

    Barren plateaus from learning scramblers with local cost functions

    The existence of barren plateaus has recently revealed new training challenges in quantum machine learning (QML). Uncovering the mechanisms behind barren plateaus is essential in understanding the scope of pro...

    Quantifying scrambling in quantum neural networks

    We quantify the role of scrambling in quantum machine learning. We characterize a quantum neural network’s (QNNs) error in terms of the network’s scrambling properties via the out-of-time-ordered correlator (O...
