Adaptive State Fidelity Estimation for Higher Dimensional Bipartite Entanglement

Abstract

An adaptive method for quantum state fidelity estimation in bipartite higher dimensional systems is established. This method employs state verifier operators which are constructed by local POVM operators and adapted to the measurement statistics in the computational basis. Employing this method, the state verifier operators that stabilize Bell-type entangled states are constructed explicitly. Together with an error operator in the computational basis, one can estimate the lower and upper bounds on the state fidelity for Bell-type entangled states in few measurement configurations. These bounds can be tighter than the fidelity bounds derived in [Bavaresco et al., Nature Physics (2018), 14, 1032-1037], if one constructs more than one local POVM measurements additional to the measurement in the computational basis.

Multipartite entanglement measures via Bell-basis measurements

Jacob L. Beckey, G. Pelegrí, Steph Foulds +1 more

We show how to estimate a broad class of multipartite entanglement measures from Bell-basis measurement data. In addition to lowering the experimental requirements relative to previously known methods of estimating these measures, our proposed scheme also enables a simpler analysis of the number of measurement repetitions required to achieve an $\ensuremath{\epsilon}$-close approximation of the measures, which we provide for each. We focus our analysis on the recently introduced concentratable entanglements [Beckey et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 127, 140501 (2021)] because many other well-known multipartite entanglement measures are recovered as special cases of this family of measures. We extend the definition of the concentratable entanglements to mixed states and show how to construct lower bounds on the mixed state concentratable entanglements that can also be estimated using only Bell-basis measurement data. Finally, we demonstrate the feasibility of our methods by classically simulating their implementation on a noisy Rydberg atom quantum computer.

Efficient estimation of multipartite quantum coherence

Qi-Ming Ding, Xiao‐Xu Fang, Xiao Yuan +2 more

Quantification of coherence lies at the heart of quantum information processing and fundamental physics.Exact evaluation of coherence measures generally needs a full reconstruction of the density matrix, which becomes intractable for large-scale multipartite systems.Here, we propose a systematic theoretical approach to efficiently estimating lower and upper bounds of coherence in multipartite states.Under the stabilizer formalism, the lower bound is determined by the spectrum estimation method with a small number of measurements, and the upper bound is determined by a single measurement.We verify our theory with a four-qubit optical quantum system.We experimentally implement various multiqubit entangled states, including the Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger state, the cluster state, and the W state, and show how their coherences are efficiently inferred from measuring a few observables.

Efficient verification of bipartite pure states

Zihao Li, Yun-Guang Han, Huangjun Zhu

We propose practical and efficient protocols for verifying bipartite pure states for any finite dimension, which can also be applied to fidelity estimation. Our protocols are based on adaptive local projective measurements with either one-way or two-way communications, which are very easy to implement in practice. They can extract the key information much more efficiently than known protocols based on tomography or direct fidelity estimation, and their efficiencies are comparable to the best protocols based on entangling measurements. These protocols highlight the significance of mutually unbiased bases and complex projective 2-designs in quantum state verification and fidelity estimation. Moreover, our protocols can be applied to the adversarial scenario, in which states are controlled by a malicious adversary. In this case, surprisingly, one of our protocols based on local measurements is even optimal among protocols without locality restriction.

Directly estimating the fidelity of measurement-based quantum computation

David T. Stephen, Michael Foss-Feig

In measurement-based quantum computation (MBQC), quantum circuits are implemented using adaptive measurements on an entangled resource state. In practice, the resource state will always be prepared with some noise, and it is crucial to understand the effect of this noise on the operation of MBQC. Typically, one measures the fidelity of the noisy resource state with the assumption that a high fidelity state means a high fidelity computation. However, the precise relationship between these two fidelities is not known. Here, we derive an expression that equates the average fidelity of the MBQC output state to a certain correlation function evaluated on the noisy resource state. Using this expression, we show that state fidelity provides a tight lower bound on average MBQC fidelity. Conversely, we also find that state fidelity can greatly underestimate average MBQC fidelity, implying that state fidelity is not a good indicator of MBQC performance in general. In response, we formulate an efficient method to directly estimate average MBQC fidelity by measuring the aforementioned correlation function. These results therefore improve our ability to characterize noisy resource states in quantum computers and benchmark MBQC performance.

Fidelity measurement of a multiqubit cluster state with minimal effort

Konstantin Tiurev, Anders Søndberg Sørensen

The size of the Hilbert space for a multiqubit state scales exponentially with the number of constituent qubits. Often this leads to a similar exponential scaling of the experimental resources required to characterize the state. Contrary to this, we propose a physically motivated method for experimentally assessing the fidelity of an important class of entangled states known as cluster states. The proposed method always yields a lower bound of the fidelity with a number of measurement settings scaling only linearly with the system size, and is tailored to correctly account for the errors most likely to occur in experiments. For one-dimensional cluster states, the constructed fidelity measure is tight to lowest order in the error probability for experimentally realistic noise sources and thus closely matches the true fidelity. Furthermore, it is tight for the majority of higher-order errors, except for a small subset of certain nonlocal multiqubit errors irrelevant in typical experimental situations. The scheme also performs very well for higher-dimensional cluster states, assessing correctly the majority of experimentally relevant errors.

Entangled States of Qutrit Bipartite System

Surajit Sen, Dey, Tushar Kanti

We develop a systematic method to construct the Bell states of a qubit bipartite system while taking $SU(2)$ group as the basis group. An alternative formulation of fidelity, called $SU(2)$ fidelity, is proposed which gives the Bell-CHSH inequality. Taking analogy from the octet theory governed by the $SU(3)$ group, it is shown that the method can be easily generalized to derive all possible entangled states and the $SU(3)$ fidelity of the higher dimensional bipartite qutrit system. The properties of these states are studied which reveal the existence of some inequalities for the qutrit bipartite system.
