A Theory of Finite-Noise Optima and Generalization in Quantum Machine Learning

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Aug 25, 2026 · UTC

Quantum noise is expected to degrade quantum machine learning by driving circuits away from their noiseless implementations. Yet recent studies show moderate noise can reduce testing error, a behavior unexplained by weak-noise perturbative error accumulation or strong-noise trainability collapse. Here we develop a statistical learning theory connecting microscopic noise processes to macroscopic learning performance. At its heart is a noise-order purity parameter, derived from a surrogate model analysis, that predicts the noise-induced reduction in model complexity and the consequent reduction
