Classical shadows meet quantum optimal mass transport
arXiv:2309.08426 · doi:10.1063/5.0178897
Abstract
Classical shadows constitute a protocol to estimate the expectation values of a collection of M observables acting on O(1) qubits of an unknown n-qubit state with a number of measurements that is independent of n and that grows only logarithmically with M. We propose a local variant of the quantum Wasserstein distance of order 1 of [De Palma et al., IEEE Trans. Inf. Theory 67, 6627 (2021)] and prove that the classical shadow obtained measuring O(log n) copies of the state to be learned constitutes an accurate estimate with respect to the proposed distance. We apply the results to quantum generative adversarial networks, showing that quantum access to the state to be learned can be useful only when some prior information on such state is available.
