• Abstract: We consider the problem of certification of arbitrary ensembles of pure states and projective measurements solely from the experimental statistics in the prepare-and-measure scenario assuming the upper bound on the dimension of the Hilbert space. To this aim, we propose a universal and intuitive scheme based on establishing perfect correlations between target states and suitably-chosen projective measurements. The method works in all finite dimensions and allows for robust certification of the overlaps between arbitrary preparation states and between the corresponding measurement operators. Finally, we prove that for qubits, our technique can be used to robustly self-test arbitrary configurations of pure quantum states and projective measurements. These results pave the way towards the practical application of the prepare-and-measure paradigm to certification of quantum devices.

  Uncertainty quantification in natural language generation (NLG) tasks remains an open challenge. This study investigates adapting conformal prediction (CP), which can convert any measure of uncertainty into rigorous theoretical guarantees. We propose a sampling-based uncertainty measure leveraging self-consistency and develop a conformal uncertainty criterion.

  Self-testing is a promising approach to certifying quantum states or measurements. We show how to self-test any four- (three-) outcome extremal positive operator-valued measure using a linear witness. One of our constructions achieves self-testing of any number of states with the help of as many projective measurements.

  We consider communication scenarios where one party sends quantum states of known dimensionality $D$, prepared with an untrusted apparatus, to another, distant party. We prove that, for any ensemble of reference pure quantum states, there exists one such prepare-and-measure scenario and a linear functional $W$ on its observed measurement probabilities.

  Entanglement -- the coherent correlations between parties in a quantum system -- is well-understood and quantifiable. Despite the utility of such systems, methods for quantifying high-dimensional entanglement are more limited and experimentally challenging. We present a novel certification method whose measurement requirements scale linearly with dimension subsystem.

  It is paramount to have practical measurement strategies that can estimate incompatible parameters with best precisions possible.

We show numerically that there is a strict gap between the previous efficiently computable bounds and the ultimate precision bound.
