Abstract
Kernel methods are ubiquitous in classical machine learning, and recently their formal similarity with quantum mechanics has been established. To grasp the potential advantage of quantum machine learning, it is necessary to understand the distinction between nonclassical kernel functions and classical kernels. This paper builds on a recently proposed phase-space nonclassicality witness [Bohmann and Agudelo, Phys. Rev. Lett. 124, 133601 (2020)] to derive a witness for the kernel's quantumness in continuous-variable systems. We discuss the role of the kernel's nonclassicality in data distribution in the feature space and the effect of imperfect state preparation. Furthermore, we show that the nonclassical kernels lead to the quantum advantage in parameter estimation. Our work highlights the role of the phase-space correlation functions in understanding the distinction of classical machine learning from quantum machine learning.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
