| contents | Quantum probability provides a novel framework for formulating machine-learning (ML) problems in Hilbert space. We introduce a prototype-based learning scheme where class representatives are encoded as generative matrix product states (MPS). Because these prototypes reside in the same Hilbert space as quantum-encoded data samples, various ML tasks such as classification and clustering can be performed through geometric measures of quantum states. This approach lifts prototype learning from classical feature space to quantum Hilbert space. Benchmarks on Fashion-MNIST and a real-world electrocardiogram dataset demonstrate that our method outperforms classical prototype approaches while remaining competitive with standard black-box neural networks. We also identify an ``attraction'' effect induced by the quantum-probabilistic prototypes and introduce a dimensionality-reduction scheme based on prototype distances. Our results establish quantum states as an explainable framework for prototype learning, opening new directions for designing ML algorithms in quantum Hilbert space. |
