Classical hardness of Hamiltonian function learning proven

Researchers have rigorously proven the average-case classical hardness for specific Hamiltonian function learning problems. This work builds upon a quantum machine learning problem proposed by Morohoshi, Nakayama, Manabe, and Mitarai, where the goal is to predict quantities related to an unknown function of a Hamiltonian. The new findings demonstrate that an efficient classical learner for these problems would imply a classical polynomial-time algorithm for factoring random RSA moduli, assuming the average-case hardness of that task.
