McQuack: New Quantum Kernel Method Achieves Linear Scaling for Multiclass Classification

Researchers have introduced McQuack, a novel quantum kernel method designed for multiclass classification problems. This method addresses limitations of traditional kernel methods by achieving linear scaling with the number of training samples, replacing the full Gram matrix with a trainable sample-to-class-centroid fidelity matrix. McQuack demonstrated superior performance compared to existing quantum baselines in simulations and achieved results comparable to an RBF kernel on IBM quantum devices, even without training. AI

IMPACT Introduces a new quantum kernel method that could improve efficiency and performance for multiclass classification tasks in machine learning.

    A Multiclass Quantum Aligned Centroid Kernel

    arXiv:2607.19782v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Kernel methods are powerful tools in machine learning but commonly used full-Gram kernels face three key limitations: (1) quadratic scaling with training set size; (2) the use of fixed, non-trainable kernels; and (3) the absence o…
