Structural f-Divergence Offers Parameter-Space View of Barren Plateaus in Variational Quantum CircuitsNishiyama and Hasegawa introduce the "structural f-divergence," a symmetric f-divergence-based measure defined directly on the parameter space of parameterized quantum circuits (PQCs), bypassing the conventional reliance on t-design or Haar-random assumptions over unitary distrib…
