Abstract

We propose a device-independent null witness dimensionality test with bipartite measurements and input from two separate parties. The dimension is determined from the rank of the matrix of measurements for pairs of states prepared by the parties. We have applied the test to various IBM Quantum devices. The results demonstrate extreme precision of the test, which is able to detect disagreements with the qubit (two-level) space of bipartite measurement even in the presence of technical imperfections. The deviations beyond 6 standard deviations have no simple origin and need urgent explanations to unblock progress in quantum computing.

Quantum null-hypothesis device-independent Schmidt number witness

Josep Amengual i Batle, Tomasz Białecki, Tomasz Rybotycki +2 more

Abstract We investigate the dimensionality of bipartite quantum systems by construction of a device-independent null witness test. This test assesses whether a given bipartite state conforms with the expected quantum dimension, Schmidt number, and distinguishes between real and complex spaces. By employing local measurements on each party, the proposed method aims to determine the minimal rank. By performing an experimental demonstration on IBM Quantum devices, we prove the exceptional accuracy of the test and its usefulness in diagnostics beyond routine calibrations. One of the tests shows agreement with theoretical expectations within statistical errors. However, the second test failed by more than 6 standard deviations, indicating unspecified parasitic entanglements, with no known simple origin.

Abstract We demonstrate an implementation of the precise test of dimension on the qubit, using the public IBM quantum computer,using the determinant dimension witness.The accuracy is below 10-3 comparing to maximal possible value of the witness in higher dimension.The test involving minimal independent sets of preparation and measurement operations (gates) is applied both for specific configurations andparametric ones. The test is be robust against nonidealities such as incoherent leakage and erroneous gate execution.Two of the IBM devices failed the test by more than 5 standard deviations, which has no simple explanation.

Device-independent dimension test in a multiparty Bell experiment

Zhaohui Wei, Jamie Sikora

A device-independent dimension test for a Bell experiment aims to estimate the underlying Hilbert space dimension that is required to produce given measurement statistical data without any other assumptions concerning the quantum apparatus. Previous work mostly deals with the two-party version of this problem. In this paper, we propose a very general and robust approach to test the dimension of any subsystem in a multiparty Bell experiment. Our dimension test stems from the study of a new multiparty scenario which we call prepare-and-distribute . This is like the prepare-and-measure scenario, but the quantum state is sent to multiple, noncommunicating parties. Through specific examples, we show that our test results can be tight. Furthermore, we compare the performance of our test to results based on known bipartite tests, and witness remarkable advantages, which indicates that our test is of a true multiparty nature. We conclude by pointing out that with some partial information about the quantum states involved in the experiment, it is possible to learn other interesting properties beyond dimension.

Device‐Independent Dimension Leakage Null Test on Qubits at Low Operational Cost

Tomasz Rybotycki, Tomasz Białecki, Josep Amengual i Batle +1 more

Abstract A null test of the two‐level space of a qubit is constructed, which is both device independent and needs a small number of different experiments. Its feasibility is demonstrated on IBM Quantum, with most qubits failing the test by more than ten standard deviations. The robustness of the test against common technical imperfections, like decoherence and phase shifts, and supposedly negligible leakage, indicates that the origin of deviations is beyond known effects.

Certifying the Dimension of Classical and Quantum Systems in a Prepare-and-Measure Scenario with Independent Devices

Joseph Bowles, Marco Túlio Quintino, Nicolas Brunner

We consider the problem of testing the dimension of uncharacterized classical and quantum systems in a prepare-and-measure setup. Here we assume the preparation and measurement devices to be independent, thereby making the problem nonconvex. We present a simple method for generating nonlinear dimension witnesses for systems of arbitrary dimension. The simplest of our witnesses is highly robust to technical imperfections, and can certify the use of qubits in the presence of arbitrary noise and arbitrarily low detection efficiency. Finally, we show that this witness can be used to certify the presence of randomness, suggesting applications in quantum information processing.

Quantum discord witness with uncharacterized devices

Rong Wang, Yao Yao, Zhen-Qiang Yin

Quantum discord represents a correlation beyond classicality that could be useful for many quantum information tasks, and therefore is viewed as a valuable quantum resource. Theoretically, whether a bipartite quantum state has a non-zero amount of quantum discord or not can be determined once its density matrix is given. Experimentally, however, it is not easy to perform a reliable tomography on the state, especially when considering the imperfection of devices and the high dimensionality of system. Here, inspired by the so-called dimension witness, we propose a new approach using uncharacterized measurements to witness quantum discord of an unknown bipartite state within arbitrary dimension system. Furthermore, $2 \times 2$ measurements are sufficient for any bipartite state of arbitrarily large dimension. For any two-qubit state, we show that the maximum of witness happens when one performs mutually orthogonal basis measurement on each qubit. Our method exhibits high robustness against device imperfections, such as error tolerance, indicating its experimental feasibility.
