Quantum versus Classical Learnability

چکیده
Motivated by recent work on quantum black-box query complexity, we consider quantum versions of two wellstudied models of learning Boolean functions: Angluin’s model of exact learning from membership queries and Valiant’s Probably Approximately Correct (PAC) model of learning from random examples. For each of these two learning models we establish a polynomial relationship between the number of quantum versus classical queries required for learning. Our results provide an interesting contrast to known results which show that testing blackbox functions for various properties can require exponentially more classical queries than quantum queries. We also show that under a widely held computational hardness assumption there is a class of Boolean functions which is polynomial-time learnable in the quantum version but not the classical version of each learning model; thus while quantum and classical learning are equally powerful from an information theory perspective, they are different when viewed from a computational complexity perspective.

متن کاملThe Learnability of Quantum States
Traditional quantum state tomography requires a number of measurements that grows exponentially with the number of qubits n. But using ideas from computational learning theory, we show that “for most practical purposes” one can learn a state using a number of measurements that grows only linearly with n. Besides possible implications for experimental physics, our learning theorem has two applic...
متن کاملQuantum DNF Learnability Revisited
We describe a quantum PAC learning algorithm for DNF formulae under the uniform distribution with a query complexity of Õ(s/ǫ+ s/ǫ), where s is the size of DNF formula and ǫ is the PAC error accuracy. If s and 1/ǫ are comparable, this gives a modest improvement over a previously known classical query complexity of Õ(ns/ǫ). We also show a lower bound of Ω(s logn/n) on the query complexity of any...

متن کاملConstacyclic Codes over Group Ring (Zq[v])/G
Recently, codes over some special finite rings especially chain rings have been studied. More recently, codes over finite non-chain rings have been also considered. Study on codes over such rings or rings in general is motivated by the existence of some special maps called Gray maps whose images give codes over fields. Quantum error-correcting (QEC) codes play a crucial role in protecting quantum ...
