Insight by Technology
You can compute a quantum kernel by running the feature map for one data point and the inverse for another because composing those circuits makes interference produce the inner product of their quantum feature states directly, avoiding explicit high-dimensional classical computations for certain maps.

See all →Entangling gates in feature maps can encode classical data into an exponentially larger joint Hilbert space because they create nonlocal correlations across qubits that boost representational capacity and can improve class separability.
Instead of reconstructing the full quantum state, practitioners estimate specific observables because full state tomography needs an impractical number of measurements, while targeted measurements give task-relevant information with far fewer shots.
