• Abstract summary: We introduce a protocol addressing the conformance test problem, which consists in determining whether a process under test conforms to a reference one. We formulate the problem in the context of hypothesis testing and consider the specific case in which the objects can be modeled as pure loss channels. We experimentally implement this protocol, exploiting optical twin beams, validating our theoretical results.

• Abstract: We introduce a protocol addressing the conformance test problem, which consists in determining whether a process under test conforms to a reference one. We consider a process to be characterized by the set of end-product it produces, which is generated according to a given probability distribution. We formulate the problem in the context of hypothesis testing and consider the specific case in which the objects can be modeled as pure loss channels. We demonstrate theoretically that a simple quantum strategy, using readily available resources and measurement schemes in the form of two-mode squeezed vacuum and photon-counting, can outperform any classical strategy. We experimentally implement this protocol, exploiting optical twin beams, validating our theoretical results, and demonstrating that, in this task, there is a quantum advantage in a realistic setting.

  Discrimination of one-versus-two point-like incoherent sources in symmetric and asymmetric scenarios is studied. We calculate the quantum lower bounds on error probabilities of making a decision after one-shot and multi-shot tests. Our results may contribute to real-world quantum imaging such as microscopy and astronomy.

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.

  The presence of noise in quantum computers hinders their effective operation. We suggest the application of the so-called quantum state matching protocol for testing purposes. For systematically varied inputs we find that the device with the smaller quantum volume performs better on our tests than the one with larger quantum volume.
