The passage around this formula
For quantum algorithms proposed to accelerate machine learning on ordinary classical data — the sense in which “quantum AI” is usually marketed — the evidence points the other way on two grounds. The first is trainability: McClean and colleagues showed in 2018 that for a wide class of the parameterized quantum circuits used in most proposed quantum machine learning models, the probability that a gradient in any direction is non-negligible shrinks exponentially with qubit count — a “barren plateau” that makes gradient-based training intractable at exactly the scale where an advantage would need to appear [ 12 ] . The second is the comparison baseline itself. In 2018, Ewin Tang showed that a…
