• Abstract: The quantum Fisher information (QFI), as a function of quantum states, measures the amount of information that a quantum state carries about an unknown parameter. The (entanglement-assisted) QFI of a quantum channel is defined to be the maximum QFI of the output state assuming an entangled input state over a single probe and an ancilla. In quantum metrology, people are interested in calculating the QFI of $N$ identical copies of a quantum channel when $N \rightarrow \infty$, which is called the asymptotic QFI. Over the years, researchers found various types of upper bounds of the asymptotic QFI, but they were proven achievable only in several specific situations. It was known that the asymptotic QFI of an arbitrary quantum channel grows either linearly or quadratically with $N$. Here we show that a simple criterion can determine whether the scaling is linear or quadratic. In both cases, the asymptotic QFI and a quantum error correction protocol to achieve it are computable via a semidefinite program. When the scaling is quadratic, the Heisenberg limit, a feature of noiseless quantum channels, is recovered. When the scaling is linear, we show the asymptotic QFI is still in general larger than $N$ times the single-channel QFI and furthermore, sequential estimation strategies provide no advantage over parallel ones.

  We study the power of unentangled quantum proofs with non-negative amplitudes, a class which we denote $textQMA+(2)$. In particular, we design global protocols for small set expansion, unique games, and PCP verification. We show that QMA(2) is equal to $textQMA+(2)$ provided the gap of the latter is a sufficiently large constant.

  A new Quantum Error Mitigation (QEM) technique uses Fuzzy C-Means clustering to specifically identify measurement error patterns. We report a proof-of-principle validation of the technique on a 2-qubit register, obtained as a subset of a real NISQ 5-qubit superconducting quantum processor. We demonstrate that the FCM-based QEM technique allows for reasonable improvement of the expectation values of single- and two-qubit gates based quantum circuits.

• Simple Tests of Quantumness Also Certify Qubits [69.96668065491183]
  A test of quantumness is a protocol that allows a classical verifier to certify (only) that a prover is not classical. We show that tests of quantumness that follow a certain template, which captures recent proposals such as (Kalai et al., 2022) can in fact do much more. Namely, the same protocols can be used for certifying a qubit, a building-block that stands at the heart of applications such as certifiable randomness and classical delegation of quantum computation.

  Variational quantum algorithms (VQAs) offer the most promising path to obtaining quantum advantages via noisy processors. gate noise due to imperfections and decoherence affects the gradient estimates by introducing a bias. Quantum error mitigation (QEM) techniques can reduce the estimation bias without requiring any increase in the number of qubits. QEM can reduce the number of required iterations, but only as long as the quantum noise level is sufficiently small.
