• Abstract: Global estimation strategies allow to extract information on a phase or a set of phases without any prior knowledge, which is, instead, required for local estimation strategies. We devise a global multiphase protocol based on Holevo's estimation theory and apply it to the case of digital estimation, i.e. we estimate the phases in terms of the mutual information between them and the corresponding estimators. In the single-phase scenario, the protocol encompasses two specific known optimal strategies. We extend them to the simultaneous estimation of two phases and evaluate their performance. Then, we retrieve the ultimate digital bound on precision when a generic number of phases is simultaneously estimated. We show that in the multiphase strategy there is only a constant quantum advantage with respect to a sequence of independent single-phase estimations. This extends a recent similar result, which settled a controversy on the search for the multiphase enhancement.

  We propose schemes for resource reusability, resource-splitting protocol and unsharp homodyne measurements. We demonstrate the advantage offered by the first scheme in implementing sequential attempts at continuous variable teleportation when the protocol fails in the previous round. We exhibit that, under specific conditions, it is possible to witness the entanglement of a state an arbitrary number of times via a scheme that differs significantly from any protocol proposed for finite dimensional systems.

• Experimental benchmarking of quantum state overlap estimation strategies with photonic systems [17.062416865186307]
  We compare four strategies for overlap estimation, including tomography-tomography, tomography-projection, Schur collective measurement and optical swap test. With a photonic system, the overlap-dependent estimation precision for each strategy is quantified in terms of the average estimation variance over uniformly sampled states. Our results shed new light on extracting the parameter of interest from quantum systems, prompting the design of efficient quantum protocols.

• Hyperparameters in Continual Learning: A Reality Check [53.30082523545212]
  Continual learning (CL) aims to train a model on a sequence of tasks while balancing the trade-off between plasticity (learning new tasks) and stability (retaining prior knowledge) The dominantly adopted conventional evaluation protocol for CL algorithms selects the best hyper parameters in a given scenario and then evaluates the algorithms in the same scenario. This protocol has significant shortcomings: it overestimates the CL capacity of algorithms and relies on unrealistic hyper parameter tuning. We argue that the evaluation of CL algorithms should focus on assessing the generalizability of their CL capacity to unseen scenarios.

  This study introduces a new method for predicting the future state of synchronization of the dynamics of two financial time series. We adopt a deep learning framework for methodologically addressing the prediction of the synchronization state. We find that the task of predicting the state of synchronization of two time series is in general rather difficult, but for certain pairs of stocks attainable with very satisfactory performance.

  Reinforcement learning in partially observed Markov decision processes (POMDPs) faces two challenges. It often takes the full history to predict the future, which induces a sample complexity that scales exponentially with the horizon. We propose a reinforcement learning algorithm named Embed to Control (ETC), which learns the representation at two levels while optimizing the policy.
