Trainability of IQP Quantum Circuit Born Machines Under Gaussian Initialization

arXiv:2606.10179v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Quantum Circuit Born Machines (QCBMs) offer a natural approach to generative machine learning by leveraging the Born rule. Recent work has provided a method to classically train QCBMs with Instantaneous Quantum Polynomial (IQP) circuits via the Maximum Mean Discrepancy (MMD) loss. Despite the assumed intractability of sampling from IQP circuits classically, their expectation values can be computed classically, enabling training of these IQP QCBMs. However, quantum machine learning (QML) models have various other challenges, including trainabili
