• Abstract summary: For classical Hamiltonians, the most commonly used Gibbs sampler is the Metropolis algorithm. For quantum Hamiltonians, designing provably correct Gibbs samplers has been more challenging. We revisit the inspiration for the Metropolis-style algorithm and incorporate weak measurement to design a conceptually simple and provably correct quantum Gibbs sampler.

• Abstract: Gibbs sampling is a crucial computational technique used in physics, statistics, and many other scientific fields. For classical Hamiltonians, the most commonly used Gibbs sampler is the Metropolis algorithm, known for having the Gibbs state as its unique fixed point. For quantum Hamiltonians, designing provably correct Gibbs samplers has been more challenging. [TOV+11] introduced a novel method that uses quantum phase estimation (QPE) and the Marriot-Watrous rewinding technique to mimic the classical Metropolis algorithm for quantum Hamiltonians. The analysis of their algorithm relies upon the use of a boosted and shift-invariant version of QPE which may not exist [CKBG23]. Recent efforts to design quantum Gibbs samplers take a very different approach and are based on simulating Davies generators [CKBG23,CKG23,RWW23,DLL24]. Currently, these are the only provably correct Gibbs samplers for quantum Hamiltonians. We revisit the inspiration for the Metropolis-style algorithm of [TOV+11] and incorporate weak measurement to design a conceptually simple and provably correct quantum Gibbs sampler, with the Gibbs state as its approximate unique fixed point. Our method uses a Boosted QPE which takes the median of multiple runs of QPE, but we do not require the shift-invariant property. In addition, we do not use the Marriott-Watrous rewinding technique which simplifies the algorithm significantly.

• 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.
