In this work we tie their heuristic success to two facts. First, that when randomly initialized, they can only operate on the information encoded in low-bodyness measurements of their input states. And second, that they are commonly benchmarked on «locally-easy» datasets whose states are precisely classifiable by the information encoded in these low-bodyness observables subspace. We further show that the QCNN’s action on this subspace can be efficiently classically simulated by a classical algorithm equipped with Pauli shadows on the dataset. Indeed, we present a shadow-based simulation of QCNNs on up-to 1024 qubits for phases of matter classification. Our results can then be understood as highlighting a deeper symptom of QML: Models could only be showing heuristic success because they are benchmarked on simple problems, for which their action can be classically simulated. This insight points to the fact that non-trivial datasets are a truly necessary ingredient for moving forward with QML. To finish, we discuss how our results can be extrapolated to classically simulate other architectures. > > Join Meeting: https://events.teams.microsoft.com/event/06fd2ebc-0541-4ec9-966e-8cf22ae1a6… <https://quantumspain-project.us21.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4de6018b41d…> > <https://quantumspain-project.us21.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4de6018b41d…> > REGISTRARSE > <https://quantumspain-project.us21.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4de6018b41d…> > <https://quantumspain-project.us21.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4de6018b41d…> > <https://quantumspain-project.us21.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4de6018b41d…> > Copyright (C) 2024 USC.

Next week
by Juani Bermejo Vega 18 Sep '24

18 Sep '24

Dear all, Next week at 13:00 we will have a small gathering to catch-up, organize a bit and join for a drink at the cafeteria. Everyone is welcome to join. Since we have new members and visitors, we could try to organize a lunch or dinner. Wednesday evening, or Thursday/Friday at lunchtime could work for me. Let me know of your preferences and I will organize it. Best, Juani

Visit Ana
by Daniel Manzano 18 Sep '24

18 Sep '24

Dear all. I’m happy to tell you that Ana will visit us next week, from Wednesday to Friday. She will deliver a seminar about her work on Support Vector Machines and entanglement classification. We will announce the specific time and date later this week. Best, Sani. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Daniel Manzano Quantum Thermodynamics and Quantum Computation Group University of Granada Facultad de Ciencias, Av.

Corcho / magnetic whiteboards
by Juani Bermejo Vega 17 Sep '24

17 Sep '24

Dear all, Some of you proposed it would be nice to have some "corcho" panels for hanging quick notes. I have been looking into it and have seen this type of magnetic white boards, which may be a bit more durable and one can also write on them: Bi-Office Pizarra blanca magnética, 60 x 40 cm, color plateado con marcador y 2 imanes https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://amzn.eu/d/3ABIxrt__;!!D9dNQwwGXtA!Shlo_… OFITURIA® Pizarra Blanca Magnética Lacada Con Marco De Aluminio Resistente Fácil De Borrar En Seco, Medida 45x30 cm https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://amzn.eu/d/5MbOGb7__;!!D9dNQwwGXtA!Shlo_… What do you think? Should we try to order a few of these or similar? How many? Best, JJ

New group members
by Juani Bermejo Vega 17 Sep '24

17 Sep '24

Dear all, Next Monday and Tuesday our new group member Rocío Sola will arrive at the Department. They join the group as a research project manager to work part time giving technical support to research projects. Rocío is also a postdoctoral research on History of Arts. Please say hello if you are around :) This Friday, Filipa Peres will be defending her PhD thesis and will probably sign a postdoc contract with us on the 23rd of September. She works on hybrid quantum classical computing. She is still moving places but is expected to be around pretty soon. Last, as many of you know, Lola Estévez in staying in the group as a PhD researcher. :) A big welcome to all of them. Best, Juani

---------- Forwarded message --------- De: <no-reply(a)birs.ca> Date: lun, 16 sept 2024 20:44 Subject: BIRS Proposal: Invitation for Participant To: <jbermejovega(a)ugr.es> Dear Juani Bermejo-Vega, We (Nicole Yunger Halpern, William Braasch, Stephan De Bièvre, Justin Dressel) are submitting a proposal for a 5-Day Workshop titled "Kirkwood-Dirac Distributions: Mathematical Properties and Quantum-Information Applications" to the Banff International Research Station (BIRS). *Would you like to participate in this event, either physically or virtually, if the proposal is accepted?* A positive response to the invitation does not confirm participation, but indicates your interest in the scientific content of the program. In the case of a positive response, you will be notified if the proposal is funded, and will be asked to make your decision about participation at that time. Your response will help us (the organizers) and the proposal reviewers determine the appeal of this proposed workshop to the wider mathematical community. You can write to us at (nicoleyh(a)umd.edu) if you need more information to make your decision. Please indicate your interest by 2024-09-23 using the link below: https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://proposals.birs.ca/invite?code=R0c6yHsJn… <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://proposals.birs.ca/invite?code=R0c6yHsJn…> If you indicate a positive response, you will be asked to fill out a short demographic questionnaire. While the questionnaire is mandatory, you may select *Prefer not to answer* for any question. Your responses can help organizers ensure a diverse participant list. It can also demonstrate the inclusivity of the proposed program to the review committee. Thank you for considering this invitation! The organizing committee: Nicole Yunger Halpern, William Braasch, Stephan De Bièvre, Justin Dressel
