Representation Geometry and Inductive Biases in Quantum Classifiers across Classical Visual Benchmarks

Key points

• Quantum Machine Learning (QML) has a theoretical advantage over classical algorithms for specific synthetic data that is computationally hard.1
• In a fully quantum learning pipeline, classical real-world data are first encoded into quantum states via a quantum feature mapping, analogous to a classical feature extractor, and a quantum classifier then classifies the resulting states.1
• By controlling the data scale and supervision strength, we analyze how the unitary structure of quantum classifiers affects generalization, and show that their effectiveness depends strongly on the geometry of the input representations.1
• Our analysis shows that kernel alignment identifies representations compatible with quantum feature spaces, providing insights into translating classical models into quantum algorithms.1

  Quantum structural properties induced by unitary operations or entanglement introduce inductive biases that differ from those of classical models, potentially leading to distinct learning behavior on real-world data.
