• Abstract: The Hadamard test is naturally suited for the intermediate regime between the current era of noisy quantum devices and complete fault tolerance. Its applications use measurements of the auxiliary qubit to extract information, but disregard the system register completely. Separate advances in classical representations of quantum states via classical shadows allow the implementation of even global classical shadows with shallow circuits. This work combines the Hadamard test on a single auxiliary readout qubit with classical shadows on the remaining $n$-qubit work register. We argue that this combination inherits the best of both worlds and discuss statistical phase estimation as a vignette application. There, we can use the Hadamard test to estimate eigenvalues on the auxiliary qubit, while classical shadows on the remaining $n$ qubits provide access to additional features such as, (i) fidelity with certain pure quantum states, (ii) the initial state's energy and (iii) how pure and how close the initial state is to an eigenstate of the Hamiltonian. Finally, we also discuss how anti-controlled unitaries can further augment this framework.

  Reconstruction of quantum states from experimental measurements is crucial for the verification and benchmarking of quantum devices. Many physical quantum states, such as states generated by noisy, intermediate-scale quantum computers, are usually structured. We establish theoretical guarantees for the stable recovery of MPOs using tools from compressive sensing and the theory of empirical processes.

  We present an approach where the quantum computation is supplemented by a classical result. Taking advantage of its anticipation also leads to a new type of quantum measurements, which we call anticipative. In an anticipative quantum measurement the combination of the results from classical and quantum computations happens only in the end.

  A crucial subroutine for various quantum computing and communication algorithms is to efficiently extract different classical properties of quantum states. We show how to project the quantum state into classical shadows and simultaneously predict $M$ different functions of a state with only $mathcalO(log M)$ measurements. Our experiment verifies the efficacy of exploiting (derandomized) classical shadows and sheds light on efficient quantum computing with noisy intermediate-scale quantum hardware.

  We show that measurements in no more than 3 out of the possible $3N$ bases can reconstruct the single-qubit reduced density matrices and measure the ability to create coherent superpositions. We demonstrate that a subset of such observables can serve as entanglement witnesses for QAOA-MaxCut states, and further argue that they are especially well tailored for this purpose by defining and computing an entanglement potency metric on witnesses.
