• Abstract: In this work we examine quantum states which have non-negative amplitudes (in a fixed basis) and the channels which preserve them. These states include the ground states of stoquastic Hamiltonians and they are of interest since they avoid the Sign Problem and can thus be efficiently simulated. In optimization theory, the convex cone generated by such states is called the set of completely positive (CP) matrices (not be confused with completely positive superoperators). We introduce quantum channels which preserve these states and call them completely positive completely positive. To study these states and channels, we use the framework of resource theories and investigate how to measure and quantify this resource.

• Efficient conversion from fermionic Gaussian states to matrix product states [48.225436651971805]
  We propose a highly efficient algorithm that converts fermionic Gaussian states to matrix product states. It can be formulated for finite-size systems without translation invariance, but becomes particularly appealing when applied to infinite systems. The potential of our method is demonstrated by numerical calculations in two chiral spin liquids.

• Characterizing the superposition of arbitrary random quantum states and a known quantum state [5.316931601243777]
  We investigate the superposition problem of unknown qubit states with respect to a known qubit state. Under trace-nonincreasing completely positive operations the superposable state sets are located in some circles on the Bloch sphere. For the high-dimensional case, we illustrate that any superposition transformation protocols will violate the no-cloning principle for almost all the states.

• Quantum channels and some absolute properties of quantum states [0.0]
  We probe the action of some quantum channels in two qubits and two qudits and find that some quantum states move from the non-absolute regime to the absolute regime under the action. We extend the notion of absoluteness to conditional R'enyi entropies and find the required condition for a state to have absolute conditional R'enyi entropy non-negative (ACRENN) property.

  A candidate application for quantum computers is to simulate the low-temperature properties of quantum systems. This paper shows that, for most random Hamiltonians, the maximally mixed state is a sufficiently good trial state. Phase estimation efficiently prepares states with energy arbitrarily close to the ground energy.

  A core principle of quantum theory is that non-orthogonal quantum states cannot be perfectly distinguished with single-shot measurements. Here we implement a quantum state elimination measurement which unambiguously rules out two of four pure, non-orthogonal quantum states.

• A triality pattern in entanglement theory [0.0]
  We present new connections between three types of quantum states: positive under partial transpose states, symmetric with positive coefficients states and invariant under realignment states. These connections add new evidence to the pattern that for every proven result for one of these types, there are counterparts for the other two, which is a potential source of information for entanglement theory.

  Wigner negativity is known to be a necessary resource for computational advantage in several quantum-computing architectures. We identify vast families of circuits that display large, possibly unbounded, Wigner negativity, and yet are classically efficiently simulatable. We derive our results by establishing a link between the simulatability of high-dimensional discrete-variable quantum circuits and bosonic codes.
