• Abstract: We present a method to estimate the amount of squeezing and temperature of a single-mode Gaussian harmonic oscillator state based on the weighted least squares estimator applied to measured Fock state populations. Squeezing and temperature, or equivalently the quadrature variances, are essential parameters states used in various quantum communication and sensing protocols. They are often measured with homodyne-style detection, which requires a phase reference such as a local oscillator. Our method allows estimation without a phase reference, by using for example a photon-number-resolving detector. To evaluate the performance of our estimator, we simulated experiments with different values of squeezing and temperature. From 10,000 Fock measurement events we produced estimates for states whose fidelities to the true state are greater than 99.99% for small squeezing (r < 1.0), and for high squeezing (r = 2.5) we obtain fidelities greater than 99.9%. We also report confidence intervals and their coverage probabilities.

  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.

No assumptions about noise or imperfections in the measurement are required, and the scheme is simple to implement with existing technology. We show that randomness can be certified in the presence of both Gaussian additive noise and non-Gaussian imperfections.

  We propose two methods to analyze witness experiments where the states can be subject to arbitrarily correlated noise. The first method is a rejection experiment, in which we certify the creation of entanglement by rejecting the hypothesis that the experiment can only produce separable states. The second method is an estimation experiment, in which we estimate and construct confidence intervals for the average witness value.
