- Abstract: Quantum retrodiction is a time-symmetric approach to quantum mechanics with
applications in a number of important problems. One of the major challenges to
its more widespread applicability is the restriction of its symmetric formalism
to unbiased sources. The main result of this paper is to develop a general
theory yielding a symmetric formalism for arbitrary sources. We then highlight
on a specific example, by presenting the optimal solution to the retrodiction
problem that is dual to unambiguous state discrimination, how the generalized
approach works. We also show how this formalism leads to a symmetric
formulation of the communication channel between Alice and Bob and point to the
intrinsic connection between retrodiction and the no-signaling principle.

We introduce quantum algorithms that can efficiently simulate certain classes of interactions consisting of correlated changes in multiple quantum numbers.
The lattice gauge theory studied is the SU(2) gauge theory in 1+1 dimensions coupled to one flavor of staggered fermions.
The algorithms are shown to be applicable to higher-dimensional theories as well as to other Abelian and non-Abelian gauge theories.

Quantum neural networks (QNNs) exert the power of modern quantum machines.
QNNs with handcraft symmetric ansatzes generally experience better trainability than those with asymmetric ansatzes.
We propose the effective quantum neural tangent kernel (EQNTK) to quantify the convergence of QNNs towards the global optima.

We show how $PT$ symmetry may allow interpretations that evade ghosts and instabilities present in an interpretation of the theory within a Hermitian framework.
