• Abstract: Certifying that quantum devices behave as intended is crucial for quantum information science. Here, methods are developed for certification of both state preparation devices and measurement devices based on prepare-and-measure experiments with independent devices. The experimenter assumes the independence of the devices and knowledge of the Hilbert space dimension. Thus no precise characterisation of any part of the experiment is required. The certification is based on a randomised version of unambiguous state discrimination and targets the class of state ensembles corresponding to quantum $t$-designs of any size and any dimension. These quantum designs are sets of states over which the average of any $t$-degree polynomial equals its average over all pure states, and they accommodate many of the most useful discrete structures in quantum information processing. Furthermore, it is shown that the same experiments also certify the detection efficiency of the measurement devices, as well as their non-projective nature. The presented methods can readily be implemented in experiments.

  We provide a construction of a family of steering inequalities tailored to large classes of $d$-outcomes projective measurements. We prove that the maximal quantum violation of those inequalities can be used for certification of those measurements and the maximally entangled state of two qudits.

• Efficient and Device-Independent Active Quantum State Certification [0.0]
  Entangled quantum states are essential ingredients for many quantum technologies, but they must be validated before they are used. Most existing approaches are based on preparing an ensemble of nominally identical and independent (IID) quantum states, and then measuring each copy of the ensemble. We experimentally implement quantum state certification (QSC), which measures only a subset of the ensemble, certifying the fidelity of the remaining states.

We show that device-independent verification can be performed with optimal sample efficiency.

  Machine learning inspired variational methods provide a promising route towards scalable state characterization for quantum simulators. We benchmark and compare several such approaches by applying them to measured data from an experiment producing two-qubit entangled states. We find that in the presence of experimental imperfections and noise, confining the variational manifold to physical states greatly improves the quality of the reconstructed states.
