A PAC-Bayesian approach to generalization for quantum models. We take steps towards non-uniform and data-dependent bounds for generalization of quantum machine learning models. scirate.com/arxiv/2603.22964 In detail, #generalization is a central concept in machine learning theory, yet for quantum models, it is predominantly analyzed through uniform bounds that depend on a model's overall capacity rather than the specific function learned. These capacity-based uniform bounds are often too loose and entirely insensitive to the actual training and learning process. Previous theoretical guarantees have failed to provide #nonuniform, data-dependent bounds that reflect the specific properties of the learned solution rather than the worst-case behavior of the entire hypothesis class. To address this limitation, we derive the first #PACBayesian generalization bounds for a broad class of quantum models by analyzing layered circuits composed of general quantum channels, which include dissipative operations such as mid-circuit measurements and feedforward. Through a channel perturbation analysis, we establish non-uniform bounds that depend on the norms of learned parameter matrices; we extend these results to symmetry-constrained equivariant quantum models; and we validate our theoretical framework with numerical experiments. This work provides actionable model design insights and establishes a foundational tool for a more nuanced understanding of generalization in #quantummachinelearning.
