In this paper, from the original definition of fidelity in a pure state, we first give a well-defined expansion fidelity between two Gaussian mixed states. It is related to the variances of output and input states in quantum information processing. It is convenient to quantify the quantum teleportation (quantum clone) experiment since the variances of the input (output) state are measurable. Furthermore, we also give a conclusion that the fidelity of a pure input state is smaller than the fidelity of a mixed input state in the same quantum information processing.In this paper, from the original definition of fidelity in a pure state, we first give a well-defined expansion fidelity between two Gaussian mixed states.

Witness expansion: A unified framework for analytical and measurable mixed-state resource detection

Yifan Tang, Chengkai Zhu, Yuzhen Zhang +6 more

Quantum information science aims to harness different kinds of quantum resources to accomplish specific information-processing tasks. These resources also play an increasingly important role in addressing fundamental questions concerning quantum phases and dynamics. Therefore, developing powerful and practical methods for identifying and detecting quantum resources is of great significance, with applications ranging from benchmarking quantum devices to understanding the fundamental structure of quantum theory. In this work, we propose witness expansion, a unified framework for constructing nonlinear criteria for detecting quantum resources that are associated with a well-defined group of free unitaries. These criteria apply to both pure and mixed quantum states and are based on polynomial functions of the target state, which can be estimated experimentally using multiple copies of the state and evaluated analytically in certain physical models. We show how several well-known resource-detection quantities naturally emerge from our framework, including the $l_2$ norm of coherence, partial-transpose moments for entanglement, stabilizer entropy for nonstabilizerness (quantum magic), and fermionic antiflatness for fermionic non-Gaussianity. Beyond recovering these existing structures, our framework also yields new criteria for detecting qubit and qudit magic states, substantially enhancing witness-based detection capabilities. In addition, it gives, to the best of our knowledge, the first analytical criterion for detecting mixed-state fermionic non-Gaussianity with respect to the convex hull of pure fermionic Gaussian states that remains nontrivial for arbitrary numbers of qubits, demonstrating the broad applicability and conceptual unifying power of the framework.Quantum information science aims to harness different kinds of quantum resources to accomplish specific information-processing tasks.
