Their trainability and expressivity are not yet fully understood and are critical to their performance. In this work, we address trainability through the lens of the magnitude of the gradients of the cost function. We prove bounds for the differences between gradients of the better-studied data-less parameterized quantum circuits and re-uploading models. We coin the concept of {\\sl absorption witness} to quantify such difference. For the expressivity, we prove that quantum re-uploading models output functions with vanishing high-frequency components and upper-bounded derivatives with respect to data. As a consequence, such functions present limited sensitivity to fine details, which protects against overfitting. We performed numerical experiments extending the theoretical results to more relaxed and realistic conditions. Overall, future designs of quantum re-uploading models will benefit from the strengthened knowledge delivered by the uncovering of absorption witnesses and vanishing high frequencies.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2311.10822v2","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2311.10822v2.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"links_only","authors_date_abstract":"arXiv metadata, CC0 1.0 (https://info.arxiv.org/help/license), from the Kaggle arXiv metadata snapshot of 2026-09-12"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"gradients-and-frequency-profiles-of-quantum","repo_url":"https://github.com/adrianperezsalinas/qru_average","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"none","reach":{"status":"ok"}}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"syntology_url":"https://syntology.ai/paper/2311.10822","atlas_url":"https://app.syntology.ai/?focus=2311.10822","mcp":{"get_harvested_code_for_paper":{"arxiv_id":"2311.10822"}},"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers","read_at":"2026-09-25T09:33:49+00:00","read_at_is":"when the build read Syntology's graph, not when any sample ran","claim":"Per-sample execution status on synthesized fixtures; not a correctness claim about the paper.
