• Abstract: In this paper we consider the classical capacity problem for Gaussian measurement channels without imposing any kind of threshold condition. We prove Gaussianity of the average state of the optimal ensemble in general and discuss the Hypothesis of Gaussian Maximizers concerning the structure of the ensemble. The proof uses an approach of Wolf, Giedke and Cirac adapted to the convex closure of the output differential entropy. Then we discuss the case of one mode in detail, including the dual problem of accessible information of a Gaussian ensemble. In quantum communications there are several studies of the classical capacity in the transmission scheme where not only the Gaussian channel but also the receiver is fixed, and the optimization is performed over certain set of the input ensembles. These studies are practically important in view of the complexity of the optimal receiver in the Quantum Channel Coding (HSW) theorem. Our findings are relevant to such a situation where the receiver is Gaussian and concatenation of the channel and the receiver can be considered as one Gaussian measurement channel. Our efforts in this and preceding papers are then aimed at establishing full Gaussianity of the optimal ensemble (usually taken as an assumption) in such schemes.

  Generalized Schr"odinger Bridge (GSB) problem setup is prevalent in many scientific areas both within and without machine learning. We propose Generalized Schr"odinger Bridge Matching (GSBM), a new matching algorithm inspired by recent advances. We show that such a generalization can be cast as solving conditional optimal control, for which variational approximations can be used.

  We consider the rate-limited quantum-to-classical optimal transport in terms of output-constrained rate-distortion coding. We develop a coding framework for continuous-variable quantum systems by employing a clipping projection and a dequantization block. For the Gaussian quantum systems, we derive an analytical solution for rate-limited Wasserstein distance of order 2.

  We study a relatively simple model case, where the quantum channel is generated by a Lindblad equation. We compute the characteristic function of the action of the channel on a Gaussian state explicitly and we can as well derive a representation of the propagator in an integral form. This allows us to compare the exact results with semiclassical approximations and perturbation theory and evaluate their accuracy.

For these types of circuits, neither continuous-variable theorems based on the non-negativity of quasi-probability distributions nor discrete-variable theorems can be employed to assess the simulatability.

• Distributed quantum phase sensing for arbitrary positive and negative weights [2.5496329090462626]
  We propose an optimal distributed quantum phase sensing scheme using Gaussian states with zero displacement for an arbitrary distribution of the weights with positive and negative signs. The estimation precision of the optimal scheme is derived, and shown to be achievable by using squeezed states injected into linear beam-splitter networks. We also provide a deeper understanding of our finding by focusing on the two-mode case, in comparison with the cases using non-Gaussian probe states.

Our algorithm builds upon Borgerding's learned AMP (LAMP), yet significantly improves it by adopting a universal denoising function within the algorithm. Numerical evaluation shows that the L-GM-AMP algorithm achieves state-of-the-art performance without any knowledge of the source prior.
