• Abstract: Estimating correctly the quantum phase of a physical system is a central problem in quantum parameter estimation theory due to its wide range of applications from quantum metrology to cryptography. Ideally, the optimal quantum estimator is given by the so-called quantum Cram\'er-Rao bound, so any measurement strategy aims to obtain estimations as close as possible to it. However, more often than not, the current state-of-the-art methods to estimate quantum phases fail to reach this bound as they rely on maximum likelihood estimators of non-identifiable likelihood functions. In this work we thoroughly review various schemes for estimating the phase of a qubit, identifying the underlying problem which prohibits these methods to reach the quantum Cram\'er-Rao bound, and propose a new adaptive scheme based on covariant measurements to circumvent this problem. Our findings are carefully checked by Monte Carlo simulations, showing that the method we propose is both mathematically and experimentally more realistic and more efficient than the methods currently available.

  This work presents a quantum adaptation of the iterative higher-order power method for estimating the geometric measure of entanglement of multi-qubit pure states. It is executable on current (hybrid) quantum hardware and does not depend on quantum memory. We study the effect of noise on the algorithm using a simple theoretical model based on the standard depolarising channel.

• Adaptive measurement strategy for quantum subspace methods [0.0]
  We propose an adaptive measurement optimization method that is useful for the quantum subspace methods. The proposed method first determines the measurement protocol for classically simulatable states, and then adaptively updates the protocol of quantum subspace expansion. As a numerical demonstration, we have shown for excited-state simulation of molecules that we are able to reduce the number of measurements by an order of magnitude.

  Mean value estimation of observables is an essential subroutine in quantum computing algorithms. The quantum estimation theory identifies the ultimate precision of such an estimator, which is referred to as the quantum Cram'er-Rao (QCR) lower bound or equivalently the inverse of the quantum Fisher information. We propose a quantum-enhanced mean value estimation method in a depolarizing noisy environment that saturates the QCR bound in the limit of a large number of qubits.

  Quantum algorithms for quantum dynamics simulations are traditionally based on implementing a Trotter-approximation of the time-evolution operator. variational quantum algorithms have become an indispensable alternative, enabling small-scale simulations on present-day hardware. We show that, despite providing a clear reduction of quantum gate cost, the variational method in its current implementation is unlikely to lead to a quantum advantage.
