• Abstract: The manipulation of quantum states through linear maps beyond quantum operations has many important applications in various areas of quantum information processing. Current methods simulate unphysical maps by sampling physical operations, but in a classical way. In this work, we show that using quantum measurement in place of classical sampling leads to lower simulation costs for general Hermitian-preserving maps. Remarkably, we establish the equality between the simulation cost and the well-known diamond norm, thus closing a previously known gap and assigning diamond norm a universal operational meaning as a map's simulability. We demonstrate our method in two applications closely related to error mitigation and quantum machine learning, where it exhibits a favorable scaling. These findings highlight the power of quantum measurement in simulating unphysical operations, in which quantum interference is believed to play a vital role. Our work paves the way for more efficient sampling techniques and has the potential to be extended to more quantum information processing scenarios.

  Given a quantum circuit containing d tunable RZ gates and G-d Clifford gates, can a learner perform purely classical inference to efficiently predict its linear properties? We prove that the sample complexity scaling linearly in d is necessary and sufficient to achieve a small prediction error, while the corresponding computational complexity may scale exponentially in d. We devise a kernel-based learning model capable of trading off prediction error and computational complexity, transitioning from exponential to scaling in many practical settings.

We benchmark and compare several such approaches by applying them to measured data from an experiment producing two-qubit entangled states. We find that in the presence of experimental imperfections and noise, confining the variational manifold to physical states greatly improves the quality of the reconstructed states.
