随着量子机器学习向实际应用迈进,传统模型容量与训练能力的平衡被打破。尽管经典深度学习中增加容量易导致过拟合,但当前无结构的量子机器学习架构却面临严重的量子欠拟合问题,根源在于‘表达力-可训练性悖论’。本文证明:参数化量子线路(PQCs)巨大的希尔伯特空间容量——长期被视为量子优势来源——正是导致梯度景观指数平坦化(即荒原峡谷,BPs)的数学原因。结合动态李代数(DLAs)与几何量子机器学习的最新进展,建立了一个将电路生成器的代数维数与其优化动力学相联系的统一框架。在非线性二分类任务上的实证表明,无结构架构虽可通过不可扩展的参数化实现接近完美的训练准确率(量子过拟合),但嵌入群论几何先验作为结构正则化项,能将李代数增长限制在多项式范围内,牺牲部分记忆容量以换取可扩展的梯度丰富训练景观。该对称性保持方法为构建可训练量子神经网络提供了‘按需可训练’的设计蓝图。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

As Quantum Machine Learning (QML) transitions toward practical implementation, the field faces a critical architectural bottleneck that challenges the fundamental assumptions of classical statistical learning theory. In classical deep learning, increasing model capacity typically risks overfitting. However, this study advances a counter-intuitive paradigm: unstructured contemporary QML architectures suffer from a profound state of quantum underfitting, driven by the "expressivity-trainability paradox." We demonstrate that the vast Hilbert space capacity of Parameterized Quantum Circuits (PQCs)-traditionally chased as the source of quantum advantage is the direct mathematical cause of Barren Plateaus (BPs), where gradient landscapes become exponentially flat. By synthesizing recent breakthroughs in Dynamical Lie Algebras (DLAs) and Geometric QML, we establish a comprehensive framework linking the algebraic dimension of circuit generators to their optimization dynamics. Furthermore, we empirically validate this framework on a non-linear binary classification task, illuminating a uniquely quantum manifestation of the bias-variance tradeoff: while unstructured architectures achieve near-perfect training accuracy via unscalable parameterization (quantum overfitting), embedding group-theoretic geometric priors acts as a structural regularizer. By restricting the DLA growth to a polynomial regime, our symmetry-preserving approach sacrifices raw memorization capacity to guarantee scalable, gradient-rich training landscapes, offering a robust roadmap for "Trainability-by-Design" in scalable quantum neural networks.
