• Title: User-friendly confidence regions for quantum state tomography
• Authors: Carlos de Gois, Matthias Kleinmann,
• Abstract summary: In finite statistics, experimental data cannot give perfect information about the quantum state. A common way to express this limited knowledge is by providing confidence regions in the state space. Here we construct confidence regions that solve these issues, as they have an inequalityally optimal sample cost and good performance for realistic parameters.

• Abstract: Quantum state tomography is the standard technique for reconstructing a quantum state from experimental data. In the regime of finite statistics, experimental data cannot give perfect information about the quantum state. A common way to express this limited knowledge is by providing confidence regions in the state space. Though other confidence regions were previously proposed, they are either too wasteful to be of practical interest, cannot easily be applied to general measurement schemes, or are too difficult to report. Here we construct confidence regions that solve these issues, as they have an asymptotically optimal sample cost and good performance for realistic parameters, are applicable to any measurement scheme, and can be described by an ellipsoid in the space of Hermitian operators. Our construction relies on a vector Bernstein inequality and bounds with high probability the Hilbert-Schmidt norm error of sums of multinomial samples transformed by linear maps.

  Recent advancements in randomized measurement techniques have provided fresh insights in this area. We investigate the fundamental properties of schemes that certify pure quantum states through random local Haar measurements. Our results unveil the intrinsic interplay between operator complexity and the efficiency of quantum algorithms, serving as an obstacle to local certification of pure states with long-range entanglement.
