Learning theory, and in particular learning from quantum examples, provides one of the few settings in which unconditional quantum-classical separations can be established. In distribution-free (i.e., worst-case) PAC learning, existing results show that quantum examples provide no asymptotic advantage in sample complexity. In contrast, under the uniform distribution, unbounded quantum-classical separations are known for learning Fourier-sparse Boolean functions. Together, these results reveal a striking dichotomy. However, this understanding has largely been developed in the context of learning Boolean functions in the batch setting, leaving open how these phenomena extend more broadly. This thesis develops the theory of learning with quantum examples beyond the batch Boolean setting along three directions: multiclass learning, online learning, and smoothed learning.\n\nIn the multiclass PAC setting, we establish upper and lower bounds on quantum sample complexity in both the realizable and agnostic regimes, finding that quantum examples continue to yield no distribution-independent separation from classical examples, with learning rates governed by the Natarajan dimension up to logarithmic factors in the label-space size. We next study online learning, where no standard framework for learning with quantum examples existed prior to this work. We provide such a model by lifting the classical online framework to one in which the adversary provides distributions over labeled examples, and then by encoding these distributions as quantum examples. We establish expected regret guarantees for binary and multiclass classification in both the realizable and agnostic settings. The central finding is that unrestricted adversarial power permits highly concentrated distributions that dequantize the learning problem. Motivated by this dequantization phenomenon, we develop a smoothed learning framework that constrains distributions to be smooth, interpolating between the concentrated-distribution regime, in which no quantum advantage exists, and the uniform-distribution regime, in which unbounded separations are known. For the class of Fourier-sparse Boolean functions, we show that such separations persist throughout a nontrivial near-uniform regime in both the batch and online settings.\n\nTogether, these results paint a coherent picture of learning with quantum examples beyond the batch Boolean setting, showing that quantum-classical separations depend on the interplay between hypothesis class structure, distributional assumptions, and the degree of adversarial control permitted in the learning process.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"148398-21904185@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/148398", "building_id":"1000166", "building_name":"East Hall", "campus_maps_id":"53", "room":"3088", "location_name":"East Hall", "has_livestream":1, "livestream_type":"zoom", "livetream_require_login":0, "livestream_id":"94724722291", "livestream_password":"545962", "livestream_link":"https:\/\/umich.zoom.us\/j\/94724722291", "cost":"", "tags":["Mathematics","Graduate Students","Graduate","Dissertation"], "website":"", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Department of Mathematics", "group_id":"3791", "website":"" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2026\/05\/event_148398_original-1.jpg", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/05\/event_148398_original-1.jpg", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/05\/event_148398_original-1.jpg", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/05\/event_148398_original-1.jpg", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/05\/event_148398_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/05\/event_148398_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2026\/05\/event_148398_original-1.jpg", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/05\/event_148398_original-1.jpg", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/05\/event_148398_original-1.jpg", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2026\/05\/event_148398_original-1.jpg", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2026\/05\/event_148398_original-1.jpg", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/05\/event_148398_original-1.jpg", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2026\/05\/event_148398_original-1.jpg", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/05\/event_148398_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/05\/event_148398_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/05\/event_148398_original-1.jpg" }, "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":21904185 } , "141325-21903867": { "datetime_modified":"20260518T092015", "datetime_start":"20260605T130000", "datetime_end":"20260605T134500", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2026-06-05", "date_end":"2026-06-05", "time_start":"13:00:00", "time_end":"13:45:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"Sky Tonight", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"Sky Tonight", "event_subtitle":"", "event_type":"Exhibition", "event_type_id":"7", "description":"A live presentation on what to find in the sky tonight and for the coming few weeks.

The son of a Tulane University professor, he was taught the rudiments of instrumentation by his uncle on his mother\u2019s ukulele. \u201cUncle Howard,\u201d Smither says, \u201cshowed me that if you knew three chords, you could play a lot of the songs you heard on the radio. And if you knew four chords, you could pretty much rule the world.\u201d With that bit of knowledge under his belt, he was hooked. \u201cI\u2019d loved acoustic music \u2013 specifically the blues \u2013 ever since I first heard Lightnin\u2019 Hopkins\u2019 Blues In My Bottle album. I couldn\u2019t believe the sound Hopkins got. At first I thought it was two guys playing guitar. My style, to a degree, came out of trying to imitate that sound I heard.\u201d\n\nIn his early twenties, Smither turned his back on his anthropology studies and headed to Boston at the urging of legendary folk singer Eric von Schmidt. It was the mid-\u201960s and acoustic music thrived in the streets and coffeehouses there. Smither forged lifelong friendships with many musicians, including Bonnie Raitt who went on to record his songs, \u201cLove You Like A Man\u201d and \u201cI Feel the Same. (Their friendship has endured as their career paths intertwined over the years.) What quickly evolved from his New Orleans and Cambridge musical experiences is his enduring, singular guitar sound \u2013 a beat-driven finger-picking, strongly influenced by the playing of Mississippi John Hurt and Lightnin\u2019 Hopkins, layered over the ever-present backbeat of his rhythmic, tapping feet (always mic\u2019d in performance).", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"144670-21895671@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/144670", "building_id":"", "building_name":"", "campus_maps_id":"", "room":"", "location_name":"ARK Reserved", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"See Site For Pricing Information", "tags":["Mutotix","Ark"], "website":"https:\/\/theark.org\/support-the-ark\/", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Michigan Union Ticket Office (MUTO)", "group_id":"1053", "website":"" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2026\/02\/event_144670_original-1.jpg", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/02\/event_144670_original-1.jpg", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/02\/event_144670_original-1.jpg", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/02\/event_144670_original-1.jpg", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/02\/event_144670_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/02\/event_144670_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2026\/02\/event_144670_original-1.jpg", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/02\/event_144670_original-1.jpg", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/02\/event_144670_original-1.jpg", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2026\/02\/event_144670_original-1.jpg", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2026\/02\/event_144670_original-1.jpg", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/02\/event_144670_original-1.jpg", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2026\/02\/event_144670_original-1.jpg", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/02\/event_144670_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/02\/event_144670_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/02\/event_144670_original-1.jpg" }, "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":21895671 } , "146151-21898517": { "datetime_modified":"20260303T152543", "datetime_start":"20260605T200000", "datetime_end":"20260605T230000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2026-06-05", "date_end":"2026-06-05", "time_start":"20:00:00", "time_end":"23:00:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"Echoes of the Past: Greektown as Seen by Sam Karres", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"Echoes of the Past: Greektown as Seen by Sam Karres", "event_subtitle":"", "event_type":"Exhibition", "event_type_id":"7", "description":"Explore the personal sketchbooks of Sam Karres, Greek-American painter and artist, as he illustrates the daily life of residents in Greektown, Detroit.
