Abstract: 

Quantum learning advantage, also known as quantum learning supremacy, represents the ambitious aim of showcasing the ability of a programmable quantum device to solve machine learning problems that exceed the capabilities of current classical computers. This pursuit encompasses substantial challenges for both experimentalists and theorists, shaping a vibrant research frontier that has garnered increasing attention across diverse communities.

In this talk, I will provide a concise introduction to the field of quantum learning advantage, highlighting its significance and potential implications. I will delve into recent progress made in this burgeoning area, shedding light on the strides taken towards achieving quantum learning advantage. Drawing from specific concrete examples, I will explore promising instances where quantum systems display the potential to surpass classical limitations in machine learning tasks. Furthermore, I will outline the notable challenges inherent in demonstrating quantum learning advantage with existing proposals and devices.
