Anti-symmetrization is cheap and useful

Adam Bene Watts, John Bostanci, Matthias C. Caro +3

We consider the computational task of anti-symmetrization of an unknown mixed quantum state: Given iid copies of a rank- qudit state $ρ=\sum_{i=1}^r λ_i |φ_i\rangle\!\langleφ_i|…

Sample-optimal learning of stabilizer states

Rebecca Chang, Matthias C. Caro, Martin Larocca +1

It is well-known that learning a pure -qubit stabilizer state both requires, and can be accomplished with, access to a number of copies of linear in .…

Parameterised graph theory for tensor networks: entanglement rerouting, structural simplification, and agnostic tomography

Matthias C. Caro, Natalie McHugh, Sergii Strelchuk

Parameterised graph theory studies how the complexity of graph-theoretic problems depends on structural parameters of the input graph. This perspective has proved useful in analysi…

Cloning is as Hard as Learning for Stabilizer States

Nikhil Bansal, Matthias C. Caro, Gaurav Mahajan

The impossibility of simultaneously cloning non-orthogonal states lies at the foundations of quantum theory. Even when allowing for approximation errors, cloning an arbitrary unkno…

A PAC-Bayesian approach to generalization for quantum models

Pablo Rodriguez-Grasa, Matthias C. Caro, Jens Eisert +3

Generalization is a central concept in machine learning theory, yet for quantum models, it is predominantly analyzed through uniform bounds that depend on a model's overall capacit…

Interactive proofs for verifying (quantum) learning and testing

Matthias C. Caro, Jens Eisert, Marcel Hinsche +3

We consider the problem of testing and learning from data in the presence of resource constraints, such as limited memory or weak data access, which place limitations on the effici…

Learning quantum states and unitaries of bounded gate complexity

Haimeng Zhao, Laura Lewis, Ishaan Kannan +3

While quantum state tomography is notoriously hard, most states hold little interest to practically-minded tomographers. Given that states and unitaries appearing in Nature are of…

Learning and simulating bosonic systems via finite-energy locality

Tim Möbus, Andreas Bluhm, Matthias C. Caro +2

Bosonic devices promise applications in simulation, sensing and quantum error correction, but infinite-dimensional local Hilbert spaces obstruct the locality tools that make qubit…

Quantum and classical dynamical semigroups of superchannels and semicausal channels

Markus Hasenöhrl, Matthias C. Caro

Quantum devices are subject to natural decay. We propose to study these decay processes as the Markovian evolution of quantum channels, which leads us to dynamical semigroups of su…
