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

The paper presents a new algorithm that estimates the eigenvalues of a quantum state using fewer copies than the traditional Keyl‑Werner method, achieving constant error with O(d^2…

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…

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 match…
