• Abstract: Symmetry plays a crucial role in quantum physics, dictating the behavior and dynamics of physical systems. In this paper, We develop a hypothesis-testing framework for quantum dynamics symmetry using a limited number of queries to the unknown unitary operation and establish the quantum max-relative entropy lower bound for the type-II error. We construct optimal ancilla-free protocols that achieve optimal type-II error probability for testing time-reversal symmetry (T-symmetry) and diagonal symmetry (Z-symmetry) with limited queries. Contrasting with the advantages of indefinite causal order strategies in various quantum information processing tasks, we show that parallel, adaptive, and indefinite causal order strategies have equal power for our tasks. We establish optimal protocols for T-symmetry testing and Z-symmetry testing for 6 and 5 queries, respectively, from which we infer that the type-II error exhibits a decay rate of $\mathcal{O}(m^{-2})$ with respect to the number of queries $m$. This represents a significant improvement over the basic repetition protocols without using global entanglement, where the error decays at a slower rate of $\mathcal{O}(m^{-1})$.

  We present a strategy for obtaining optimal probe states and measurement schemes in a class of noiseless estimation problems with symmetry among the generators. The key to the framework is the introduction of a set of quantum metrology conditions, analogous to the quantum error correction conditions of Knill and Laflamme. We show that tetrahedral symmetry and, with fine-tuning, $S_3$ symmetry, are minimal symmetry groups providing optimal probe states for SU(2) estimation.

• Interpolating between symmetric and asymmetric hypothesis testing [7.741539072749043]
  We define a one- parameter family of binary quantum hypothesis testing tasks, which we call $s$-hypothesis testing. In particular, $s$-hypothesis testing interpolates between the regimes of symmetric and asymmetric hypothesis testing. We show that if arbitrarily many identical copies of the system are assumed to be available, then the minimal error probability of $s$-hypothesis testing is shown to decay exponentially in the number of copies.
