• Title: On estimates of trace-norm distance between quantum Gaussian states
• Authors: A. S. Holevo,
• Abstract summary: Estimates for the trace-norm distance between two quantum Gaussian states in terms of the mean vectors and covariance matrices were derived. In the present paper we obtain different estimates; our proof is based on a fidelity-like quantity which we call states overlap. They do not depend on number of modes and hence can be extended to the case of bosonic field with infinite number of modes.

• Abstract: In the paper of F.A. Mele, A.A. Mele, L. Bittel, J. Eisert, V. Giovannetti, L. Lami, L. Leone, S.F.E. Oliviero, ArXiv:2405.01431, estimates for the trace-norm distance between two quantum Gaussian states in terms of the mean vectors and covariance matrices were derived and used to evaluate the sample complexity of learning quantum energy-constrained Gaussian states. In the present paper we obtain different estimates; our proof is based on a fidelity-like quantity which we call states overlap, and is more straightforward leading to estimates which are sometimes even more stringent, especially in the cases of pure or gauge-invariant states. They do not depend on number of modes and hence can be extended to the case of bosonic field with infinite number of modes. These derivations are not aimed to replace the useful inequalities from ArXiv:2405.01431; they just show an alternative approach to the problem leading to different results. In the Appendix we briefly recall our results concerning estimates of the overlap for general fermionic Gaussian states of CAR. The problem studied in this paper can be considered as a noncommutative analog of estimation of the total variance distance between Gaussian probability distributions in the classical probability theory.

  We show that if the first and second moments are known up to an error $varepsilon$, the trace distance error on the state also scales as $varepsilon$. We prove this by establishing tight bounds on the trace distance between two Gaussian states in terms of the norm distance of their first and second moments.

  Deepscedastic regression involves jointly optimizing the mean and covariance of the predicted distribution using the negative log-likelihood. Recent works show that this may result in sub-optimal convergence due to the challenges associated with covariance estimation. We study two questions: (1) Does the predicted covariance truly capture the randomness of the predicted mean? Our results show that not only does TIC accurately learn the covariance, it additionally facilitates an improved convergence of the negative log-likelihood.

  This paper theoretically derives a unified form of JMMD that is easy to optimize. From the revealed unified JMMD, we illustrate that JMMD degrades the feature-label dependence that benefits to classification. We propose a novel MMD matrix to promote the dependence, and devise a novel label kernel that is robust to label distribution shift.

  We show that causal inference is NP-hard even in models characterised by polytree-shaped graphs. We introduce the causal EM algorithm to reconstruct the uncertainty about the latent variables from data about categorical manifest variables. We argue that there appears to be an unnoticed limitation to the trending idea that counterfactual bounds can often be computed without knowledge of the structural equations.
