Abstract

We develop a method for the random sampling of (multimode) Gaussian states in terms of their covariance matrix, which we refer to as a random quantum covariance matrix (RQCM). We analyze the distribution of marginals and demonstrate that the eigenvalues of an RQCM converge to a shifted semicircular distribution in the limit of a large number of modes. We provide insights into the entanglement of such states based on the positive partial transpose criteria. Additionally, we show that the symplectic eigenvalues of an RQCM converge to a probability distribution that can be characterized using free probability. We present numerical estimates for the probability of a RQCM being separable and, if not, its extendibility degree, for various parameter values and mode bipartitions.

Partial transpose of random quantum states: Exact formulas and meanders

Motohisa Fukuda, Piotr Śniady

We investigate the asymptotic behavior of the empirical eigenvalues distribution of the partial transpose of a random quantum state. The limiting distribution was previously investigated via Wishart random matrices indirectly (by approximating the matrix of trace 1 by the Wishart matrix of random trace) and shown to be the semicircular distribution or the free difference of two free Poisson distributions, depending on how dimensions of the concerned spaces grow. Our use of Wishart matrices gives exact combinatorial formulas for the moments of the partial transpose of the random state. We find three natural asymptotic regimes in terms of geodesics on the permutation groups. Two of them correspond to the above two cases; the third one turns out to be a new matrix model for the meander polynomials. Moreover, we prove the convergence to the semicircular distribution together with its extreme eigenvalues under weaker assumptions, and show large deviation bound for the latter.

On the covariance matrix for Gaussian states

Angel García-Chung

We show the explicit expression for the covariance matrix of general Gaussian states in terms of the symplectic group matrices. We discuss how the criteria to characterize squeezing and entanglement using the covariance matrix give rise to new criteria in the symplectic matrix elements used to construct the general Gaussian states.

Experimental Quantum Tomography of Multimode Gaussian States

Chan Roh, Geunhee Gwak, Young-Do Yoon +1 more

Multimode Gaussian states are a versatile resource for quantum information technologies and have been realized across a wide range of physical platforms. Recent progress in the large-scale generation of such states provides a key ingredient for scalable quantum technologies. Despite the importance of accurately characterizing these states, conventional tomography methods are often impractical because they require large sample sizes and can yield unphysical states. Here we present a reliable and efficient tomography method for multimode Gaussian states based on maximum-likelihood estimation. By directly operating on covariance matrices, the method avoids the exponential overhead associated with density-matrix reconstruction. We consider two commonly used detection schemes--single and joint homodyne detection--and systematically analyze the reconstruction performance. Our method outperforms conventional approaches by ensuring physical covariance matrices and achieving better agreement with the true states. To demonstrate the experimental applicability of the method, we experimentally generate various multipartite entangled states--six-mode graph states with different connectivity, a six-mode GHZ state, and a fully connected ten-mode graph state--and reconstruct their covariance matrices. Using the reconstructed covariance matrices, we quantify fidelities, detect entanglement, and reveal the multimode structure of squeezing and noise. Our technique offers a practical diagnostic tool for developing scalable quantum technologies.

Invariant measures on multimode quantum Gaussian states

Cosmo Lupo, Stefano Mancini, Antonella De Pasquale +3 more

We derive the invariant measure on the manifold of multimode quantum Gaussian states, induced by the Haar measure on the group of Gaussian unitary transformations. To this end, by introducing a bipartition of the system in two disjoint subsystems, we use a parameterization highlighting the role of nonlocal degrees of freedom—the symplectic eigenvalues—which characterize quantum entanglement across the given bipartition. A finite measure is then obtained by imposing a physically motivated energy constraint. By averaging over the local degrees of freedom we finally derive the invariant distribution of the symplectic eigenvalues in some cases of particular interest for applications in quantum optics and quantum information.

Non-Zero Mean Quantum Wishart Distribution Of Random Quantum States And Application

Shrobona Bagchi

Random quantum states are useful in various areas of quantum information science. Distributions of random quantum states using Gaussian distributions have been used in various scenarios in quantum information science. One of this is the distribution of random quantum states derived using the Wishart distibution usually used in statistics. This distribution of random quantum states using the Wishart distribution has recently been named as the quantum Wishart distribution \cite{Han}. The quantum Wishart distribution has been found for non-central distribution with a general covariance matrix and zero mean matrix. Here, we find out the closed form expression for the distribution of random quantum states pertaining to non-central Wishart distribution with any general rank one mean matrix and a general covariance matrix for arbitrary dimensions in both real and complex Hilbert space. We term this as the non-zero mean quantum Wishart distribution. We find out the method for the desired placement of its peak position in the real and complex Hilbert space for arbitrary dimensions. We also show an application of this via a fast and efficient algorithm for the random sampling of quantum states, mainly for qubits where the target distribution is a well behaved arbitrary probability distribution function occurring in the context of quantum state estimation experimental data .
