The use of kernel functions is a common technique to extract important features from data sets. A quantum computer can be used to estimate kernel entries as transition amplitudes of unitary circuits. It can be shown quantum kernels exist that, subject to computational hardness assumptions, can not be computed classically. It is an important challenge to find quantum kernels that provide an advantage in the classification of real world data. Here we introduce a class of quantum kernels that are related to covariant quantum measurements and can be used for data that has a group structure. The kernel is defined in terms of a single fiducial state that can be optimized by using a technique called kernel alignment. Quantum kernel alignment optimizes the kernel family to minimize the upper bound on the generalisation error for a given data set. We apply this general method to a specific learning problem we refer to as labeling cosets with error and implement the learning algorithm on $27$ qubits of a superconducting processor.

The problem of discriminating between many quantum channels with certainty is analyzed under the assumption of prior knowledge of algebraic relations among possible channels. It is shown, by explicit construction of a novel family of quantum algorith ms, that when the set of possible channels faithfully represents a finite subgroup of SU(2) (e.g., $C_n, D_{2n}, A_4, S_4, A_5$) the recently-developed techniques of quantum signal processing can be modified to constitute subroutines for quantum hypothesis testing. These algorithms, for group quantum hypothesis testing (G-QHT), intuitively encode discrete properties of the channel set in SU(2) and improve query complexity at least quadratically in $n$, the size of the channel set and group, compared to naive repetition of binary hypothesis testing. Intriguingly, performance is completely defined by explicit group homomorphisms; these in turn inform simple constraints on polynomials embedded in unitary matrices. These constructions demonstrate a flexible technique for mapping questions in quantum inference to the well-understood subfields of functional approximation and discrete algebra. Extensions to larger groups and noisy settings are discussed, as well as paths by which improved protocols for quantum hypothesis testing against structured channel sets have application in the transmission of reference frames, proofs of security in quantum cryptography, and algorithms for property testing.
Kernel methods are powerful for machine learning, as they can represent data in feature spaces that similarities between samples may be faithfully captured. Recently, it is realized that machine learning enhanced by quantum computing is closely relat ed to kernel methods, where the exponentially large Hilbert space turns to be a feature space more expressive than classical ones. In this paper, we generalize quantum kernel methods by encoding data into continuous-variable quantum states, which can benefit from the infinite-dimensional Hilbert space of continuous variables. Specially, we propose squeezed-state encoding, in which data is encoded as either in the amplitude or the phase. The kernels can be calculated on a quantum computer and then are combined with classical machine learning, e.g. support vector machine, for training and predicting tasks. Their comparisons with other classical kernels are also addressed. Lastly, we discuss physical implementations of squeezed-state encoding for machine learning in quantum platforms such as trapped ions.
We consider the group structure of quantum cellular automata (QCA) modulo circuits and show that it is abelian even without assuming the presence of ancillas, at least for most reasonable choices of control space; this is a corollary of a general met hod of ancilla removal. Further, we show how to define a group of QCA that is well-defined without needing to use families, by showing how to construct a coherent family containing an arbitrary finite QCA; the coherent family consists of QCA on progressively finer systems of qudits where any two members are related by a shallow quantum circuit. This construction applied to translation invariant QCA shows that all translation invariant QCA in three dimensions and all translation invariant Clifford QCA in any dimension are coherent.
Quantum computers have the opportunity to be transformative for a variety of computational tasks. Recently, there have been proposals to use the unsimulatably of large quantum devices to perform regression, classification, and other machine learning tasks with quantum advantage by using kernel methods. While unsimulatably is a necessary condition for quantum advantage in machine learning, it is not sufficient, as not all kernels are equally effective. Here, we study the use of quantum computers to perform the machine learning tasks of one- and multi-dimensional regression, as well as reinforcement learning, using Gaussian Processes. By using approximations of performant classical kernels enhanced with extra quantum resources, we demonstrate that quantum devices, both in simulation and on hardware, can perform machine learning tasks at least as well as, and many times better than, the classical inspiration. Our informed kernel design demonstrates a path towards effectively utilizing quantum devices for machine learning tasks.
We present the results of a linear optics photonic implementation of a quantum circuit that simulates a phase covariant cloner, by using two different degrees of freedom of a single photon. We experimentally simulate the action of two mirrored $1righ tarrow 2$ cloners, each of them biasing the cloned states into opposite regions of the Bloch sphere. We show that by applying a random sequence of these two cloners, an eavesdropper can mitigate the amount of noise added to the original input state and therefore prepare clones with no bias but with the same individual fidelity, masking its presence in a quantum key distribution protocol. Input polarization qubit states are cloned into path qubit states of the same photon, which is identified as a potential eavesdropper in a quantum key distribution protocol. The device has the flexibility to produce mirror
