• Title: Operational interpretation and estimation of quantum trace-norm asymmetry based on weak value measurement and some bounds
• Authors: Agung Budiyono
• Abstract summary: An important and geometrically intuitive measure of translational asymmetry of a state is given by the trace-norm asymmetry. We show that the trace-norm asymmetry is equal to the average absolute imaginary part of the weak value of the generator of the translation group optimized over all possible orthonormal bases of the Hilbert space. We then use the link between the trace-norm asymmetry and the nonreal weak value to derive the relation between the trace-norm asymmetry with other basic concepts in quantum statistics.

• Abstract: The asymmetry of a quantum state relative to a translational group is a central concept in many areas of quantum science and technology. An important and geometrically intuitive measure of translational asymmetry of a state is given by the trace-norm asymmetry, which is defined as the trace norm of the commutator between the state and the generator of the translation group. While trace-norm asymmetry satisfies all the requirements for a bonafide measure of translational asymmetry of a state within the quantum resource theoretical framework, its meaning in terms of laboratory operations is still missing. Here, we first show that the trace-norm asymmetry is equal to the average absolute imaginary part of the weak value of the generator of the translation group optimized over all possible orthonormal bases of the Hilbert space. Hence, it can be estimated via the measurement of weak value combined with a classical optimization in the fashion of quantum variational circuit which may be implemented using the near-term quantum hardware. We then use the link between the trace-norm asymmetry and the nonreal weak value to derive the relation between the trace-norm asymmetry with other basic concepts in quantum statistics. We further obtain trade-off relations for the trace-norm asymmetry and quantum Fisher information, having analogous forms to the Kennard-Weyl-Robertson uncertainty relation.

  We study the emergence of state designs from the random generator states exhibiting symmetries. We find faster convergence of the trace distance in the initial time, however, it saturates to a finite value deviating from random matrix prediction at a late time. We expect our findings to pave the way for further exploration of deep thermalization and equilibration of closed and open quantum many-body systems.

  We show that the average absolute imaginary part of the weak value of the generator of a translation group can be used to quantify the coherence as asymmetry relative to the translation group. We argue that the quantifier of coherence so defined, called TC (translationally-covariant) w-coherence, can be obtained experimentally using a hybrid quantum-classical circuit.

Previous works have focused on devising quantum algorithms to ascertain symmetries by means of fidelity-based symmetry measures. We develop alternative symmetry testing quantum algorithms that are efficiently implementable on quantum computers.

The algorithms are shown to be applicable to higher-dimensional theories as well as to other Abelian and non-Abelian gauge theories.
