Title: Mean-squared-error-based adaptive estimation of pure quantum states and unitary transformations
Authors: A. Rojas, L. Pereira, S. Niklitschek, A. Delgado
Abstract summary: We propose a method to estimate with high accuracy pure quantum states of a single qudit. Our method is based on the minimization of the squared error between the complex probability amplitudes of the unknown state and its estimate. We show that our estimation procedure can be easily extended to estimate unknown unitary transformations acting on a single qudit.

Abstract: In this article we propose a method to estimate with high accuracy pure quantum states of a single qudit. Our method is based on the minimization of the squared error between the complex probability amplitudes of the unknown state and its estimate. We show by means of numerical experiments that the estimation accuracy of the present method, which is given by the expectation of the squared error on the sample space of estimates, is state independent. Furthermore, the estimation accuracy delivered by our method is close to twice the Gill-Massar lower bound, which represents the best achievable accuracy, for all inspected dimensions. The minimization problem is solved via the concatenation of the Complex simultaneous perturbation approximation, an iterative stochastic optimization method that works within the field of the complex numbers, and Maximum likelihood estimation, a well-known statistical inference method. This can be carried out with the help of a multi-arm interferometric array. In the case of a single qubit, a Mach-Zehnder interferometer suffices. We also show that our estimation procedure can be easily extended to estimate unknown unitary transformations acting on a single qudit. Thereby, the estimation of unitary transformations achieves a higher accuracy than that achieved by processes based on tomographic methods for mixed states.

Trust-Region Sequential Quadratic Programming for Stochastic Optimization with Random Models [57.52124921268249]
We propose a Trust Sequential Quadratic Programming method to find both first and second-order stationary points. To converge to first-order stationary points, our method computes a gradient step in each iteration defined by minimizing a approximation of the objective subject. To converge to second-order stationary points, our method additionally computes an eigen step to explore the negative curvature the reduced Hessian matrix.

Doubly-stochastic point processes model the occurrence of events over a spatial domain as an inhomogeneous process conditioned on the realization of a random intensity function. Existing implementations of doubly-stochastic spatial models are computationally demanding, often have limited theoretical guarantee, and/or rely on restrictive assumptions.

Comparison of confidence regions for quantum state tomography [0.0]
The quantum state associated to an unknown experimental preparation procedure can be determined by performing quantum state tomography. A rigorous way to accomplish this is via statistical confidence regions in state space. We compare recent methods for constructing confidence regions as well as a reference method based on a Gaussian approximation.

Importance sampling for stochastic quantum simulations [68.8204255655161]
We introduce the qDrift protocol, which builds random product formulas by sampling from the Hamiltonian according to the coefficients. We show that the simulation cost can be reduced while achieving the same accuracy, by considering the individual simulation cost during the sampling stage. Results are confirmed by numerical simulations performed on a lattice nuclear effective field theory.

We propose the amortized conditional normalized maximum likelihood (ACNML) method as a scalable general-purpose approach for uncertainty estimation. Our algorithm builds on the conditional normalized maximum likelihood (CNML) coding scheme, which has minimax optimal properties according to the minimum description length principle. We demonstrate that ACNML compares favorably to a number of prior techniques for uncertainty estimation in terms of calibration on out-of-distribution inputs.

Estimation of pure quantum states in high dimension at the limit of quantum accuracy through complex optimization and statistical inference [0.0]
Quantum tomography has become a key tool for the assessment of quantum states, processes, and devices. In the case of mixed states of a single 2-dimensional quantum system adaptive methods have been recently introduced that achieve the theoretical accuracy limit deduced by Hayashi and Gill and Massar. Here we present an adaptive tomographic method and show through numerical simulations, that it is difficult to approach the fundamental accuracy of pure quantum states in high dimension.
