About this paper

Jonas Jäger, Roman V. Krems

Researchers from the University of British Columbia and Technische Universität Darmstadt established the universal expressive power of Variational Quantum Classifiers (VQC) and Quantum Kernel Support Vector Machines (QSVM). They demonstrated that these quantum machine learning models can solve classification problems constructed from the k-Forrelation problem, which is known to be PromiseBQP-complete.

Key insights

  • The specific design of the quantum feature map is paramount for unlocking the full computational power of QML models to solve quantum-hard problems.
  • From a computational complexity perspective, both VQC and QSVM exhibit equivalent universal expressive power for PromiseBQP-complete problems.
  • Quantum classifiers can, in principle, tackle problems at the theoretical limit of what quantum computers can efficiently solve (BQP class).
