• Abstract summary: This chapter introduces the state of the art in quantum audio and discusses methods for the quantum representation of audio signals. No quantum representation strategy claims to be the best one for audio applications. It can be argued that future quantum audio representation schemes will make use of multiple strategies aimed at specific applications.

• Abstract: By the time of writing, quantum audio still is a very young area of study, even within the quantum signal processing community. This chapter introduces the state of the art in quantum audio and discusses methods for the quantum representation of audio signals. Currently, no quantum representation strategy claims to be the best one for audio applications. Each one presents advantages and disadvantages. It can be argued that future quantum audio representation schemes will make use of multiple strategies aimed at specific applications. NOTE: This is an unedited abridged version of the pre-submission draft of a chapter, with the same title, published in the book Quantum Computer Music: Foundations, Methods and Advanced Concepts, by E. R. Miranda (pp. 223 - 274). Please refer to the version in this book for application examples and a discussion on sound synthesis methods based on quantum audio representation and their potential for developing new types of musical instruments. https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-031-13909-3

  QuantumSEA is an in-time sparse exploration for noise-adaptive quantum circuits. It aims to achieve two key objectives: (1) implicit circuits capacity during training and (2) noise robustness. Our method establishes state-of-the-art results with only half the number of quantum gates and 2x time saving of circuit executions.

We make use of ansatz based on quantum convolutional neural networks and numerically show that it is capable of recognizing quantum phases of ground states. The observation of non-trivial learning properties demonstrated in these benchmarks will motivate further exploration of the quantum-data learning architecture in high-energy physics.

• Simple Tests of Quantumness Also Certify Qubits [69.96668065491183]
  A test of quantumness is a protocol that allows a classical verifier to certify (only) that a prover is not classical. We show that tests of quantumness that follow a certain template, which captures recent proposals such as (Kalai et al., 2022) can in fact do much more. Namely, the same protocols can be used for certifying a qubit, a building-block that stands at the heart of applications such as certifiable randomness and classical delegation of quantum computation.

• Quantum Noise Sensing by generating Fake Noise [5.8010446129208155]
  We propose a framework to characterize noise in a realistic quantum device. Key idea is to learn about the noise by mimicking it in a way that one cannot distinguish between the real (to be sensed) and the fake (generated) one. We find that, when applied to the benchmarking case of Pauli channels, the SuperQGAN protocol is able to learn the associated error rates even in the case of spatially and temporally correlated noise.
