• Authors: Hsin-Yuan Huang, Richard Kueng, and John Preskill
• Abstract summary: We present an efficient method for constructing an approximate classical description of a quantum state. The number of measurements is independent of the system size, and saturates information-theoretic lower bounds. We apply classical shadows to predict quantum fidelities, entanglement entropies, two-point correlation functions, expectation values of local observables, and the energy variance of many-body local Hamiltonians.

• Abstract: Predicting properties of complex, large-scale quantum systems is essential for developing quantum technologies. We present an efficient method for constructing an approximate classical description of a quantum state using very few measurements of the state. This description, called a classical shadow, can be used to predict many different properties: order $\log M$ measurements suffice to accurately predict $M$ different functions of the state with high success probability. The number of measurements is independent of the system size, and saturates information-theoretic lower bounds. Moreover, target properties to predict can be selected after the measurements are completed. We support our theoretical findings with extensive numerical experiments. We apply classical shadows to predict quantum fidelities, entanglement entropies, two-point correlation functions, expectation values of local observables, and the energy variance of many-body local Hamiltonians. The numerical results highlight the advantages of classical shadows relative to previously known methods.

• Estimating many properties of a quantum state via quantum reservoir processing [2.5432391525687748]
  We propose a general framework for constructing classical approximations of arbitrary quantum states with quantum reservoirs. A key advantage of our method is that only a single local measurement setting is required for estimating arbitrary properties. This estimation scheme is extendable to higher-dimensional systems and hybrid systems with non-identical local dimensions.

  An ideal representation of a quantum state combines a succinct characterization informed by the system's structure and symmetries, along with the ability to predict the physical observables of interest. Here, we propose a new generative energy-based representation of quantum many-body states derived from Gibbs distributions used for modeling the thermal states of classical spin systems. Our results show that such a representation can be efficiently learned from data using exact algorithms in a form that enables the prediction of expectation values of physical observables.

  We present an approach where the quantum computation is supplemented by a classical result. Taking advantage of its anticipation also leads to a new type of quantum measurements, which we call anticipative. In an anticipative quantum measurement the combination of the results from classical and quantum computations happens only in the end.

  We use the approach of ensembles on configurations space to give a detailed account of a classical apparatus measuring the position of a quantum particle. We show that the probability of the pointer of the classical apparatus is left in a state that corresponds to the probability of the quantum particle. Since this formalism incorporates uncertainties and finite measurement precision, it is well suited for metrological applications.

  A crucial subroutine for various quantum computing and communication algorithms is to efficiently extract different classical properties of quantum states. We show how to project the quantum state into classical shadows and simultaneously predict $M$ different functions of a state with only $mathcalO(log M)$ measurements. Our experiment verifies the efficacy of exploiting (derandomized) classical shadows and sheds light on efficient quantum computing with noisy intermediate-scale quantum hardware.
