• Abstract summary: We propose a continuous-variable (CV) SWAP test that requires no ancilla register, thereby generalizing the ancilla-free SWAP test for qubits. In this ancilla-free CV SWAP test, the computational basis measurement is replaced by photon number-resolving measurement. We show how the ancilla-free CV SWAP test can be extended to many modes and applied to quantum algorithms.

• Abstract: We propose a continuous-variable (CV) SWAP test that requires no ancilla register, thereby generalizing the ancilla-free SWAP test for qubits. In this ancilla-free CV SWAP test, the computational basis measurement is replaced by photon number-resolving measurement, and we calculate an upper bound on the error of the overlap estimate obtained from a finite Fock cutoff in the detector. As an example, we show that estimation of the overlap of pure, centered, single-mode Gaussian states of energy $E$ and squeezed in opposite quadratures can be obtained to error $\epsilon$ using photon statistics below a Fock basis cutoff $O(E\ln \epsilon^{-1})$. This cutoff is greatly reduced to $E + O(\sqrt{E}\ln \epsilon^{-1})$ when the states have rapidly decaying Fock tails, such as coherent states. We show how the ancilla-free CV SWAP test can be extended to many modes and applied to quantum algorithms such as variational compiling and entanglement spectroscopy in the CV setting. For the latter we also provide a new algorithm which does not have an analog in qubit systems. The ancilla-free CV SWAP test is implemented on Xanadu's 8-mode photonic processor in order to estimate the vacuum probability of a two-mode squeezed state.

  We show that $O(k log L)$ samples suffice to guarantee that the signal is close to any vector that minimizes an amplitude-based empirical loss function. We adapt this result to sparse phase retrieval, and show that $O(s log n)$ samples are sufficient for a similar guarantee when the underlying signal is $s$-sparse and $n$-dimensional.

  We implement a single-shot, high-fidelity photon number-resolving detector of up to 15 microwave photons in a cavity-qubit circuit QED platform. This detector functions by measuring a series of generalized parity operators which make up the bits in the binary decomposition of the photon number. We show that the mitigation is efficiently scalable to an $M$-mode system provided that the errors are independent and sufficiently small.

We estimate observables which we cost in both the NISQ and fault-tolerant settings by assuming a simple target observable---the mean pair density.
