arXiv:2605.27942v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Principal component analysis (PCA) is traditionally implemented through a covariance or kernel matrix, leading-eigenvector extraction, and hard rank-$k$ projection. These steps can be computationally costly in high-dimensional and quantum-data settings, sensitive to small eigengaps, and unnecessary when downstream tasks only require principal-subspace scores. Such score-based objectives are important in applications such as anomaly detection, spectral-energy profiling, and other postselection tasks. To address these needs, we introduce a measur

This development offers a potentially less computationally intensive approach to critical data analysis tasks in quantum settings, which could accelerate progress in AI and quantum computing applications.
The proposed method bypasses computationally costly steps in traditional PCA, enabling more efficient analysis for specific downstream tasks without requiring full eigenvector recovery.
