The goal of the quantum learner is to learn a unitary that can accurately predict the output of the target unitary
under a fixed observable
, where the subscript
refers to the quantum system in which the operator
act on. The learning process is as follows. (a) A total number of
entangled bipartite quantum states living in Hilbert space
(
denotes the reference system) are taken as inputs, dubbed entangled data. (b) Quantum learner proceeds incoherent learning. The entangled data separately interacts with the target unitary
(agnostic) and the candidate hypothesis
extracted from the same Hypothesis set
. (c) The quantum learner is restricted to leverage the finite measured outcomes of the observable O on the output states of
and
to conduct learning. (d) A classical computer is exploited to infer
that best estimates
according to the measurement outcomes. For example, in the case of variational quantum algorithms, the classical computer serves as an optimizer to update the tunable parameters of the ansatz
. (e) The learned unitary
is used to predict the output of unseen quantum states in Hilbert space
under the evolution of the target unitary
and the measurement of
. A large Schmidt rank
can enhance the prediction accuracy when combined with a large number of measurements
, but may lead to a decrease in accuracy when m is small.
