contents In a conventional circuit for quantum machine learning, the quantum gates used to encode the input parameters and the variational parameters are constructed with a fixed order. The resulting output function, which can be expressed in the form of a restricted Fourier series, has limited flexibility in the distributions of its Fourier coefficients. This indicates that a fixed order of quantum gates can limit the performance of quantum machine learning. Building on this key insight (also elaborated with examples), we introduce indefinite causal order to quantum machine learning. Because the indefinite causal order of quantum gates allows for the superposition of different orders, the performance of quantum machine learning can be significantly enhanced. Considering that the current accessible quantum platforms only allow to simulate a learning structure with a fixed order of quantum gates, we reform the existing simulation protocol to implement indefinite causal order and further demonstrate the positive impact of indefinite causal order on specific learning tasks. Our results offer useful insights into possible quantum effects in quantum machine learning.
