When Similarity Is Interaction-Driven: Quantum Kernels for Regime-Sensitive Learning

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Aug 25, 2026 · UTC

Similarity in many decision systems is governed not by distance alone but by interactions among variables. In fraud and anomaly detection, small local perturbations can cross interaction-sensitive decision boundaries while leaving ambient distance almost unchanged. Motivated by this setting, we introduce a thin-slab interaction model and an interaction-driven quantum kernel constructed from entangled Pauli-string feature maps. The feature map explicitly encodes sparse high-order block interactions. We show that the resulting fidelity kernel is positive semidefinite, admits an exact block-facto
