Title: QMill: Quantum Data Generation for Effective and Efficient Quantum Machine Learning
Primary area: datasets and benchmarks
Keywords: Quantum Computing, Dataset Generation, Quantum Machine Learning

Abstract: Quantum machine learning (QML) has the potential to transform various fields, especially the ones that utilize quantum datasets, as QML tasks with quantum datasets have provable speedups. Yet, QML’s progress is limited by a lack of suitable quantum datasets for training and evaluation. While methods have been proposed to generate synthetic quantum datasets, these methods fail to accurately capture the entanglement properties necessary for effective generation of QML datasets. This lack of diverse and entanglement-rich data hampers the development and benchmarking of QML models. To address this, we present QMILL, a versatile quantum data generation framework that
emulates diverse classical and quantum data distributions with low circuit depth, producing entangled, high-quality dataset samples to support QML advancement.

TL;DR: This paper introduces QMILL, a framework that generates synthetic quantum data with realistic, variable distributions of entanglement to address the data scarcity bottleneck hindering progress of quantum machine learning.
