Pretty good shadow tomography

Sabee Grewal, Angelos Pelecanos, Jack Spilecki +2

We give a shadow tomography algorithm that uses copies of the input state. Specifically, given a quantum state and observables $O_1,\ldot…

Online Shadow Tomography Matching the Classical Bounds

Sitan Chen, Ryan O'Donnell, Angelos Pelecanos +1

In Online Shadow Tomography, we are given copies of an unknown -dimensional quantum state , an adversary (adaptively) proposes a sequence of bounded observables $A^{(1)},\ldo…

The Keyl-Werner algorithm is not optimal for spectrum estimation

Angelos Pelecanos, Jack Spilecki, Ewin Tang +1

We give an algorithm which, given copies of , estimates the eigenvalues of to constant error in total variation distance. Thus, we…

Improved Lower Bounds for QAC0

Malvika Raj Joshi, Avishay Tal, Francisca Vasconcelos +1

In this work, we prove the strongest known lower bounds for QAC, allowing polynomially many gates and ancillae. Our main results show that: (1) Depth-3 QAC circuits cannot…

Mixed state tomography reduces to pure state tomography

Angelos Pelecanos, Jack Spilecki, Ewin Tang +1

A longstanding belief in quantum tomography is that estimating a mixed state is far harder than estimating a pure state. This is borne out in the mathematics, where mixed state alg…

The debiased Keyl's algorithm: a new unbiased estimator for full state tomography

Angelos Pelecanos, Jack Spilecki, John Wright

In the problem of quantum state tomography, one is given copies of an unknown rank- mixed state and asked to produce an estimator of . In t…

Optimal lower bounds for quantum state tomography

Thilo Scharnhorst, Jack Spilecki, John Wright

We show that copies are necessary to learn a rank mixed state up to error in trace distance. This matches…

Haar random codes attain the quantum Hamming bound, approximately

Fermi Ma, Xinyu Tan, John Wright

We study the error correcting properties of Haar random codes, in which a -dimensional code space is chosen at random from the Haar distr…
