Here we establish a link between quantum machine learning classification and quantum hypothesis testing (state and channel discrimination) and then show that the accuracy and generalization capability of quantum classifiers depend on the (R\'enyi) mutual informations $I(C{:}Q)$ and $I_2(X{:}Q)$ between the quantum state space $Q$ and the classical parameter space $X$ or class space $C$.

Quantum hypothesis testing is one of the most fundamental problems in quantum information theory, with crucial implications in areas like quantum sensing, where it has been used to prove quantum advantage in a series of binary photonic protocols, e. g., for target detection or memory cell readout.

We introduce a robust scheme for long-distance continuous-variable (CV) measurement-device-independent (MDI) quantum key distribution (QKD) in which we employ post-selection between distant parties communicating through the medium of an untrusted relay.

Variational hybrid quantum-classical optimization represents one of the most promising avenue to show the advantage of nowadays noisy intermediate-scale quantum computers in solving hard problems, such as finding the minimum-energy state of a Hamiltonian or solving some machine-learning tasks.
