PennyLane QML Benchmarks

Twelve PennyLane datasets from two Xanadu studies that score quantum classifiers and generators against classical models on synthetic and real bit-string tasks.

What it measures

The collection is a shared testbed for near-term quantum machine learning, not a language-model exam. Six families come from a 2024 classification study that runs 12 quantum models on 160 binary datasets of rising dimension. Six more come from a 2025 generative study that trains IQP-style circuits on bit strings and scores samples with maximum mean discrepancy. Inputs are vectors or binary strings. Labels, when present, are class ids. The point is whether a quantum model beats a tuned classical baseline on the same split, not whether it chats.

Task format

Supervised binary classification (labels -1/1 or 0/7) or unlabelled generative sampling. Load via pennylane.data.load("other", name=<slug>) or generate from qml_benchmarks.data. sklearn-style fit/predict or sample().
