Efficiently estimating properties of large and strongly coupled quantum systems is a central focus in many-body physics and quantum information theory. While quantum computers promise speedups for many such tasks, near-term devices are prone to noise that will generally reduce the accuracy of such estimates. Here we show how to mitigate errors in the shadow estimation protocol recently proposed by Huang, Kueng, and Preskill. By adding an experimentally friendly calibration stage to the standard…

Avoiding barren plateaus using classical shadows
• Computer Science
• 2022
This work defines a notion of weak barren plateaus (WBP) based on the entropies of local reduced density matrices and demonstrates that decreasing the gradient step size allows to avoid WBPs during the optimization process.
Classical shadows with Pauli-invariant unitary ensembles
• Mathematics, Computer Science

It is proved that to estimate absolute values of all $n-qubit Pauli observables, algorithms with k < n qubits of quantum memory require at least$\Omega(2^{(n-k)/3})$samples, but there is an algorithm using$n$-qu bit quantum memory which only requires$\mathcal{O}(n)\$ samples.

Physical Review Research
• 2022
Facing the challenge of realizing deep unitary circuits on near-term quantum devices, this work explores the scenario in which the unitary channel can be shallow and is generated by a quantum chaotic Hamiltonian via time evolution, and provides an unbiased estimator of the density matrix for all ranges of the evolution time.

Magic hinders quantum certification
• Computer Science
• 2022
The resource theory of magic quantifies the hardness of quantum certiﬁcation protocols, showing that the resources needed to certify the quality of the application of a given unitary U are governed by the magic in the Choi state associated with U, which is shown to possess a profound connection with out-of-time order correlators.
