• Title: Scrambling in Random Unitary Circuits: Exact Results
• Authors: Bruno Bertini and Lorenzo Piroli
• Abstract summary: We study the scrambling of quantum information in local random unitary circuits by focusing on the tripartite information proposed by Hosur et al. We provide exact results for the averaged R'enyi-$2$ tripartite information in two cases: (i) the local gates are Haar random and (ii) the local gates are dual-unitary and randomly sampled from a single-site Haar-invariant measure.

• Abstract: We study the scrambling of quantum information in local random unitary circuits by focusing on the tripartite information proposed by Hosur et al. We provide exact results for the averaged R\'enyi-$2$ tripartite information in two cases: (i) the local gates are Haar random and (ii) the local gates are dual-unitary and randomly sampled from a single-site Haar-invariant measure. We show that the latter case defines a one-parameter family of circuits, and prove that for a "maximally chaotic" subset of this family quantum information is scrambled faster than in the Haar-random case. Our approach is based on a standard mapping onto an averaged folded tensor network, that can be studied by means of appropriate recurrence relations. By means of the same method, we also revisit the computation of out-of-time-ordered correlation functions, re-deriving known formulae for Haar-random unitary circuits, and presenting an exact result for maximally chaotic random dual-unitary gates.

  We prove that one-dimensional structured random circuits with non-Haar random local gates can exhibit substantially more global randomness compared to Haar random circuits with the same underlying circuit architecture. Our findings have applications in improving circuit depth bounds for randomized benchmarking and the generation of approximate unitary 2-designs from shallow random circuits.

  Recently, it was shown that the qudits used in circuits of a convolutional form (e.g., Matrix Product State sand Multi-scaleanglement Renormalization Ansatz) can be reset unitarily. We analyze the fidelity of this protocol for a family of quantum circuits that interpolates between such circuits and local quantum circuits.

  Outcome probabilities of any quantum circuit can be estimated using Monte Carlo sampling. We propose two classical sub-routines: circuit gate optimisation and frame optimisation. We numerically demonstrate that our methods provide improved scaling in the negativity overhead for all tested cases of random circuits.

  We investigate, within two different oracle models, the learnability of quantum circuit Born machines. We first show a negative result, that the output distributions of super-logarithmic depth Clifford circuits are not sample-efficiently learnable. We show that in a more powerful oracle model, namely when directly given access to samples, the output distributions of local Clifford circuits are computationally efficiently PAC learnable.

• Random quantum circuits anti-concentrate in log depth [118.18170052022323]
  We study the number of gates needed for the distribution over measurement outcomes for typical circuit instances to be anti-concentrated. Our definition of anti-concentration is that the expected collision probability is only a constant factor larger than if the distribution were uniform. In both the case where the gates are nearest-neighbor on a 1D ring and the case where gates are long-range, we show $O(n log(n)) gates are also sufficient.

• Pathwise Conditioning of Gaussian Processes [72.61885354624604]
  Conventional approaches for simulating Gaussian process posteriors view samples as draws from marginal distributions of process values at finite sets of input locations. This distribution-centric characterization leads to generative strategies that scale cubically in the size of the desired random vector. We show how this pathwise interpretation of conditioning gives rise to a general family of approximations that lend themselves to efficiently sampling Gaussian process posteriors.
