CHAPTER

The Power of Generalizations in Quantum Mechanics

Generalizations also have a huge role in understanding complex systems. One powerful generalization of probabilities that bridges classical mechanics with quantum theory called quasi-probability distributions. QPDs play a crucial role in quantum tomography, which allow us to reconstruct and characterize unknown quantum states. Nowadays, QPDs have ventured beyond the quantum realm, inspiring advancements in machine learning and artificial intelligence. It may be that the next breakthrough in lowering compute lies with these kernel methods and quantum variational encoders.
