Quantum Statistical Query

Quantum Statistical Query (QSQ) learning investigates the limits of learning quantum systems using only statistical information about them, rather than direct access to quantum states. Current research focuses on developing efficient QSQ algorithms for learning quantum processes and circuits, analyzing their query complexity, and establishing connections between QSQ learning and other models like quantum differential privacy. This framework is crucial for understanding the learnability of quantum systems under realistic noise constraints and has implications for quantum machine learning, cryptography, and quantum benchmarking. The development of rigorous lower bounds within the QSQ model helps to delineate the fundamental limits of quantum learning algorithms.
