Quantum Kernel Geometry Survival Tested on IBM Hardware

Researchers have investigated the survival of geometric information within a four-qubit quantum kernel on IBM Quantum Hardware. The study focused on a specific frozen ZZ feature-map kernel, analyzing its performance across three execution configurations: baseline, dynamical decoupling, and gate twirling. Results indicated that while the Gram matrix generally survived execution and preserved statevector geometry to a significant degree, gate twirling proved to be the most faithful method. However, the most faithful configuration exhibited the lowest alignment with the target labels, suggesting a disconnect between implementation fidelity and task relevance in current quantum machine learning studies.

    Statevector-Referenced Geometry Survival of a Four-Qubit ZZ Quantum Kernel on IBM Quantum Hardware: A Fixed-Subset Diagnostic Across Three Execution Configurations

    arXiv:2607.20377v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Quantum-kernel methods encode a dataset's geometry in a Gram matrix, so learning claims on hardware kernels assume the intended geometry survives execution. We measure that survival for one frozen four-qubit ZZ feature-map kernel …
