Non-locality of conjugation symmetry: characterization and examples in quantum network sensing

Abstract

Some quantum information processing protocols necessitate quantum operations that are invariant under complex conjugation. In this study, we analyze the non-local resources necessary for implementing conjugation-symmetric measurements on multipartite quantum networks. We derive conditions under which a given multipartite conjugation can have locally implementable symmetric measurements. In particular, a family of numbers called the ``magic-basis spectrum'' comprehensively characterizes the local measurability of a given 2-qubit conjugation, as well as any other properties that are invariant under local unitary transformations. We also explore the non-local resources required for optimal measurements on known quantum sensor networks by using their conjugation symmetries as a guide.
