• Title: Unbiased quantum phase estimation
• Authors: Xi Lu, Hongwei Lin
• Abstract summary: Quantum phase estimation algorithm (PEA) is one of the most important algorithms in early studies of quantum computation. We find that the PEA is not an unbiased estimation, which prevents the estimation error from achieving an arbitrarily small level. We propose an unbiased phase estimation algorithm (A) based on the original PEA, and study its application in quantum counting.

• Abstract: Quantum phase estimation algorithm (PEA) is one of the most important algorithms in early studies of quantum computation. It is also a key for many other quantum algorithms, such as the quantum counting algorithm and the Shor's integer factorization algorithm. However, we find that the PEA is not an unbiased estimation, which prevents the estimation error from achieving an arbitrarily small level. In this paper, we propose an unbiased phase estimation algorithm (UPEA) based on the original PEA, and study its application in quantum counting. We also show that a maximum likelihood post-processing step can further improve its robustness. In the end, we apply UPEA to quantum counting, and use an additional correction step to make the quantum counting algorithm unbiased.

  For early fault-tolerant quantum devices, it is desirable for a quantum phase estimation algorithm to use a minimal number of ancilla qubits. In this paper, we prove that an existing algorithm from quantum metrology can achieve the first three requirements. We propose a modified version of the algorithm that also meets the fourth requirement, which makes it particularly attractive for early fault-tolerant quantum devices.

• Improved maximum-likelihood quantum amplitude estimation [0.0]
  Quantum estimation is a key subroutine in a number of powerful quantum algorithms, including quantum-enhanced Monte Carlo simulation and quantum machine learning. In this article, we deepen the analysis of Maximum-likelihood quantum amplitude estimation (MLQAE) to put the algorithm in a more prescriptive form, including scenarios where quantum circuit depth is limited. We then propose and numerically validate a modification to the algorithm to overcome this problem, bringing the algorithm even closer to being useful as a practical subroutine on near- and mid-term quantum hardware.
