Quantum channel tomography: optimal bounds and a Heisenberg-to-classical phase transition

Kean Chen, Filippo Girardi, Aadil Oufkir +2

How many black-box queries to a quantum channel are needed to learn its full classical description? This question lies at the heart of quantum channel tomography (also known as qua…

Formalizing CHSH Rigidity in Lean 4

Tianrun Zhao, Nengkun Yu

Violation of the Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt (CHSH) inequality certifies genuine quantum correlations. In this work, we formalize in Lean 4 the rigidity theorem -- any strategy achi…

Approximation does not help in quantum unitary time-reversal

Kean Chen, Nengkun Yu, Zhicheng Zhang

Access to the time-reverse of an unknown quantum unitary process is widely assumed in quantum learning, metrology, and many-body physics. The fundamental task of unita…

Optimal lower bound for quantum channel tomography in away-from-boundary regime

Kean Chen, Zhicheng Zhang, Nengkun Yu

Consider quantum channels with input dimension , output dimension and Kraus rank at most . Any such channel must satisfy the constraint , and the parame…

Pauli Measurements Are Near-Optimal for Single-Qubit Tomography

Jayadev Acharya, Abhilash Dharmavarapu, Yuhan Liu +1

We provide the first non-trivial lower bounds for single-qubit tomography algorithms and show that at least copies are required…
