An Error-aware and Adaptive Method for the Estimation of Quantum Observables on Qudit-Based Quantum Computers

Rick P. A. Simon, Michael Meth, Francesco Martini +4 more

The accurate estimation of observables is a crucial task in quantum computing. Recent advances have highlighted the need for (a) specialized protocols for qudit-based devices, that include (b) error-aware strategies. Here, we present AQUIRE, the first protocol that can (a) accurately estimate both the mean and the error of an observable on qudit-based quantum computers. AQUIRE achieves this by constructing a Bayesian model to accommodate generalized Pauli operators. It is designed to continuously monitor the estimated average and the associated error of the observable, adjusting the subsequent measurements in real-time. Additionally, AQUIRE is (b) device- and experiment-specific error-aware, and accounts for hardware imperfections and experimental noise during the estimation process. We demonstrate AQUIRE's advantage via numerical simulations and showcase its ability to quantify the noise affecting the estimation by implementing it on a trapped-ion qudit quantum processor. By exploiting general commutation relations and overlap grouping measurements, our protocol is state-of-the-art when restricted to qubit-based quantum computers and extends this advantage to the qudit case.

Qudit Shadow Estimation Based on the Clifford Group and the Power of a Single Magic Gate

Chengsi Mao, Changhao Yi, Huangjun Zhu

Shadow estimation is a sample-efficient protocol for learning the properties of a quantum system using randomized measurements, but the current understanding of qudit shadow estimation is quite limited compared with the qubit setting. Here, we clarify the sample complexity of qudit shadow estimation based on the Clifford group, where the local dimension d is an odd prime. Notably, we show that the overhead of qudit shadow estimation over the qubit counterpart is only O(d), which is independent of the qudit number n, although the set of stabilizer states may deviate exponentially from a 3-design with respect to the third moment operator. Furthermore, by adding one layer of magic gates, we propose a simple circuit that can significantly boost the efficiency. Actually, a single magic gate can already eliminate the O(d) overhead in qudit shadow estimation and bridge the gap from the qubit setting.

Quantum-enhanced multiparameter estimation in multiarm interferometers

Mario Arnolfo Ciampini, Nicolò Spagnolo, Chiara Vitelli +3 more

Quantum metrology is the state-of-the-art measurement technology. It uses quantum resources to enhance the sensitivity of phase estimation over that achievable by classical physics. While single parameter estimation theory has been widely investigated, much less is known about the simultaneous estimation of multiple phases, which finds key applications in imaging and sensing. In this manuscript we provide conditions of useful particle (qudit) entanglement for multiphase estimation and adapt them to multiarm Mach-Zehnder interferometry. We theoretically discuss benchmark multimode Fock states containing useful qudit entanglement and overcoming the sensitivity of separable qudit states in three and four arm Mach-Zehnder-like interferometers - currently within the reach of integrated photonics technology.
