Adaptive Relational Learning on Multi-instance Quantum Data with Photonic Processors

arXiv:2609.17352v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Loading multiple quantum states in parallel into a quantum machine learning (QML) model can unlock learning tasks where key information resides in the \emph{relations} between states rather than in individual states. We introduce an adaptive relational learning framework for such multi-instance quantum data that accesses pairwise and higher-order relations. Our model combines global measurements via SWAP or CYCLE tests for evaluating an $n$-state Bargmann invariant with shallow trainable transformations applied locally to each input state. We demonstrate the approach for continuous-variable (CV) photonic systems, which naturally provide access to quantum data and necessary computing operations. We solve tasks involving hidden relationship detection, geometric phase classification, and sensing in the presence of an unknown shared nuisance interaction. We benchmark the adaptive model against a non-adaptive ``measure-first'' approach based on continuous-variable classical shadows, and show that the cost of shadow estimation grows rapidly with $n$, while our model avoids this dependence. Already for $n=2$, we achieve perfect test accuracy $A=1.0$ with $500$ inference shots, improving average test accuracy over the shadow-based method by $\Delta A=0.15$ while using $100$ times fewer shots per data point. Our work opens routes to sensing and quantum-data applications where adaptive photonic QML can access relational features that are costly to recover with non-adaptive, measure-first models.
