• Authors: Francois Chapeau-Blondeau
• Abstract summary: A switched quantum channel with indefinite causal order is studied for the fundamental metrological task of phase estimation on a qubit unitary operator. Phase estimation can be performed by measuring the control qubit alone, although it does not actively interact with the unitary process. The present study extends to thermal noise, investigations previously carried out with the more symmetric and isotropic qubit depolarizing noise.

• Abstract: A switched quantum channel with indefinite causal order is studied for the fundamental metrological task of phase estimation on a qubit unitary operator affected by quantum thermal noise. Specific capabilities are reported in the switched channel with indefinite order, not accessible with conventional estimation approaches with definite order. Phase estimation can be performed by measuring the control qubit alone, although it does not actively interact with the unitary process -- only the probe qubit doing so. Also, phase estimation becomes possible with a fully depolarized input probe or with an input probe aligned with the rotation axis of the unitary, while this is never possible with conventional approaches. The present study extends to thermal noise, investigations previously carried out with the more symmetric and isotropic qubit depolarizing noise, and it contributes to the timely exploration of properties of quantum channels with indefinite causal order relevant to quantum signal and information processing.

  We introduce Lindblad-like quantum tomography (L$ell$QT) as a quantum characterization technique of time-correlated noise in quantum information processors. We discuss L$ell$QT for the dephasing dynamics of single qubits in detail, which allows for a neat understanding of the importance of including multiple snapshots of the quantum evolution in the likelihood function.

• Universal cost bound of quantum error mitigation based on quantum estimation theory [0.0]
  We present a unified approach to analyzing the cost of various quantum error mitigation methods on the basis of quantum estimation theory. We derive for a generic layered quantum circuit under a wide class of Markovian noise that, unbiased estimation of an observable encounters an exponential growth with the circuit depth in the lower bound on the measurement cost. Our results contribute to the understanding of the physical limitations of quantum error mitigation and offer a new criterion for evaluating the performance of quantum error mitigation techniques.
