Spectrum Estimation is Almost as Hard as Tomography

Marco Fanizza, Ryan O'Donnell, Chirag Wadhwa

We study the sample complexity of estimating and testing fundamental unitarily invariant properties of unknown quantum states; namely, the tasks of spectrum estimation, von Neumann…

Bosonic quantum communication beyond the thermal threshold

Francesco Anna Mele, Giuseppe Catalano, Marco Fanizza +2

The quantum capacity of the bosonic thermal attenuator, which is given by the regularization of its coherent information, is unknown. The seminal work of Holevo and Werner establis…

Optimal tomography of bosonic and fermionic Gaussian states

Senrui Chen, Marco Fanizza, Filippo Girardi +4

The sample complexity is the minimum number of copies required to learn an accurate classical description of a quantum state. Bosonic and fermionic Gaussian quantum states are fami…

Complete entanglement detection using polynomial invariants

Thomas C. Fraser, Vjosa Blakaj, Roberto Rubboli +2

Existing methods for deciding whether a bipartite quantum state is separable or entangled typically fall into one of two categories: they are either complete but require access to…

Convex combinations of bosonic pure-loss channels

Giuseppe Catalano, Marco Fanizza, Francesco Anna Mele +2

The pure-loss channel is a fundamental noise model for bosonic quantum platforms, characterised by a single parameter, the transmissivity. In realistic scenarios such as free-space…

Reinforcement learning for quantum processes with memory

Josep Lumbreras, Ruo Cheng Huang, Yanglin Hu +2

In reinforcement learning, an agent interacts sequentially with an environment to maximize a reward, receiving only partial, probabilistic feedback. This creates a fundamental expl…

What resources are needed for optimal learning of bosonic Gaussian states?

Senrui Chen, Francesco Anna Mele, Marco Fanizza +5

Continuous-variable systems enable key quantum technologies in computation, communication, and sensing. Bosonic Gaussian states emerge naturally in various such applications, inclu…

Random purification channel for passive Gaussian bosons

Francesco Anna Mele, Filippo Girardi, Senrui Chen +2

The random purification channel, which, given copies of an unknown mixed state , prepares copies of an associated random purification, has proved to be an extremely valu…

Random Stinespring superchannel: converting channel queries into dilation isometry queries

Filippo Girardi, Francesco Anna Mele, Haimeng Zhao +2

The recently introduced random purification channel, which converts copies of an arbitrary mixed quantum state into copies of the same uniformly random purification, has em…

Non-iid hypothesis testing: from classical to quantum

Giacomo De Palma, Marco Fanizza, Connor Mowry +1

We study hypothesis testing (aka state certification) in the non-identically distributed setting. A recent work (Garg et al. 2023) considered the classical case, in which one is gi…

Ultimate limits for quickest quantum change-point detection

Marco Fanizza, Christoph Hirche, John Calsamiglia

Detecting abrupt changes in data streams is crucial because they are often triggered by events that have important consequences if left unattended. Quickest change point detection…
