The complexity of NISQ

S Chen, J Cotler, HY Huang, J Li - Nature Communications, 2023 - nature.com
The recent proliferation of NISQ devices has made it imperative to understand their power. In
this work, we define and study the complexity class NISQ, which encapsulates problems that …

Learning quantum states and unitaries of bounded gate complexity

H Zhao, L Lewis, I Kannan, Y Quek, HY Huang… - PRX Quantum, 2024 - APS
While quantum state tomography is notoriously hard, most states hold little interest to
practically minded tomographers. Given that states and unitaries appearing in nature are of …

Learning properties of quantum states without the IID assumption

O Fawzi, R Kueng, D Markham, A Oufkir - Nature Communications, 2024 - nature.com
We develop a framework for learning properties of quantum states beyond the assumption of
independent and identically distributed (iid) input states. We prove that, given any learning …

In this paper, we propose a method for denoising experimental density matrices that
combines standard quantum state tomography with an attention-based neural network …

The role of randomness in quantum state certification with unentangled measurements

Y Liu, J Acharya - The Thirty Seventh Annual Conference on …, 2024 - proceedings.mlr.press
Given $ n $ copies of an unknown quantum state $\rho\in\mathbb {C}^{d\times d} $, quantum
