contents Most of the existing quantum neural network models, such as variational quantum circuits (VQCs), are limited in their ability to explore the non-linear relationships in input data. This gradually becomes the main obstacle for it to tackle realistic applications, such as natural language processing, medical image processing, and wireless communications. Recently, there have emerged research efforts that enable VQCs to perform non-linear operations. However, it is still unclear on the approximability of a given VQC (i.e., the order of non-linearity that can be handled by a specified design). In response to this issue, we developed an automated tool designed to benchmark the approximation of a given VQC. The proposed tool will generate a set of synthetic datasets with different orders of non-linearity and train the given VQC on these datasets to estimate their approximability. Our experiments benchmark VQCs with different designs, where we know their theoretic approximability. We then show that the proposed tool can precisely estimate the approximability, which is consistent with the theoretic value, indicating that the proposed tool can be used for benchmarking the approximability of a given quantum circuit for learning tasks.
