• Title: Geometric distinguishability measures limit quantum channel estimation and discrimination
• Authors: Vishal Katariya and Mark M. Wilde
• Abstract summary: We show that a chain-rule property holds for the right logarithmic derivative Fisher information and the geometric R'enyi relative entropy. In channel estimation, these results imply a condition for the unattainability of Heisenberg scaling. More generally, we introduce the amortized quantum Fisher information as a conceptual framework for analyzing general sequential protocols.

• Abstract: Quantum channel estimation and discrimination are fundamentally related information processing tasks of interest in quantum information science. In this paper, we analyze these tasks by employing the right logarithmic derivative Fisher information and the geometric R\'enyi relative entropy, respectively, and we also identify connections between these distinguishability measures. A key result of our paper is that a chain-rule property holds for the right logarithmic derivative Fisher information and the geometric R\'enyi relative entropy for the interval $\alpha\in(0,1) $ of the R\'enyi parameter $\alpha$. In channel estimation, these results imply a condition for the unattainability of Heisenberg scaling, while in channel discrimination, they lead to improved bounds on error rates in the Chernoff and Hoeffding error exponent settings. More generally, we introduce the amortized quantum Fisher information as a conceptual framework for analyzing general sequential protocols that estimate a parameter encoded in a quantum channel, and we use this framework, beyond the aforementioned application, to show that Heisenberg scaling is not possible when a parameter is encoded in a classical-quantum channel. We then identify a number of other conceptual and technical connections between the tasks of estimation and discrimination and the distinguishability measures involved in analyzing each. As part of this work, we present a detailed overview of the geometric R\'enyi relative entropy of quantum states and channels, as well as its properties, which may be of independent interest.

  Topological data analysis (TDA) aims to extract noise-robust features from a data set by examining the number and persistence of holes in its topology. We show that a computational problem closely related to a core task in TDA is $mathsfBQP_1$-hard and contained in $mathsfBQP$. Our approach relies on encoding the persistence of a hole in a variant of the guided sparse Hamiltonian problem, where the guiding state is constructed from a harmonic representative of the hole.

We analyse the generation of random states in PQCs under restrictions on the qubits connectivities. We place a connection between how steep is the increase on the uniformity of the distribution of the generated states and the generation of entanglement.
