Semidefinite optimization as many-body thermodynamics: Boltzmann, Fermi-Dirac, and Bose-Einstein frameworks

Michele Minervini, Nana Liu, Dhrumil Patel +1

We study the semidefinite programs (SDPs) of quantum information whose variables are density operators, measurement operators, or unbounded positive semidefinite operators, togethe…

Unifying quantum measurement constructions via a relative-entropy minimum change principle

Nana Liu, Mark M. Wilde

The minimum change principle provides an information-theoretic characterization of the Bayes reversal channel in classical probability theory and has recently been proposed as a fr…

Quantum Spectral Anomaly Detection

Yewei Yuan, Michele Minervini, Mark M. Wilde +1

A core task in quantum anomaly detection is to compute an anomaly score that quantifies how strongly a test quantum state deviates from a given quantum dataset assumed to be normal…

Canonical quantization of neurons

Alexander He, Nana Liu, Mark M. Wilde

Canonical quantization provides a systematic procedure for constructing quantum models from classical Hamiltonians. Here, we apply this principle to a fundamental computational pri…

Retrocausal capacity of a quantum channel: Communicating through noisy closed timelike curves

Kaiyuan Ji, Seth Lloyd, Mark M. Wilde

We study the capacity of a quantum channel for retrocausal communication, where messages are transmitted backward in time, from a sender in the future to a receiver in the past, th…

Constrained free energy minimization for the design of thermal states and stabilizer thermodynamic systems

Michele Minervini, Madison Chin, Jacob Kupperman +6

A quantum thermodynamic system is described by a Hamiltonian and a list of conserved, non-commuting charges, and a fundamental goal is to determine the minimum energy of the system…

Quantum thermodynamics and semi-definite optimization

Nana Liu, Michele Minervini, Dhrumil Patel +1

In quantum thermodynamics, a system is described by a Hamiltonian and a list of non-commuting charges representing conserved quantities like particle number or electric charge, and…

Quantum algorithms for matrix geometric means

Nana Liu, Qisheng Wang, Mark M. Wilde +1

Matrix geometric means between two positive definite matrices can be defined from distinct perspectives - as solutions to certain nonlinear systems of equations, as points along ge…

An invitation to the sample complexity of quantum hypothesis testing

Hao-Chung Cheng, Nilanjana Datta, Nana Liu +3

Quantum hypothesis testing (QHT) has been traditionally studied from the information-theoretic perspective, wherein one is interested in the optimal decay rate of error probabiliti…

Guesswork with Quantum Side Information

Eric P. Hanson, Vishal Katariya, Nilanjana Datta +1

What is the minimum number of guesses needed on average to correctly guess a realization of a random variable? The answer to this question led to the introduction of the notion of…

Strong converse for the classical capacity of optical quantum communication channels

Bhaskar Roy Bardhan, Raul Garcia-Patron, Mark M. Wilde +1

We establish the classical capacity of optical quantum channels as a sharp transition between two regimes---one which is an error-free regime for communication rates below the capa…
