Abstract

Shadow tomography aims to build a classical description of a quantum state from a sequence of simple random measurements. Physical observables are then reconstructed from the resulting classical shadow. Shadow protocols which use single-body random measurements are simple to implement and capture few-body observables efficiently, but do not apply to systems with fundamental number conservation laws, such as ultracold atoms. We address this shortcoming by proposing and analyzing a new local shadow protocol adapted to such systems. The "All-Pairs" protocol requires one layer of two-body gates and only poly(V)\textrm{poly}(V) samples to reconstruct arbitrary few body observables. Moreover, by exploiting the permutation symmetry of the protocol, we derive a linear time post-processing algorithm. We provide a proof-of-principle reference implementation and demonstrate the reconstruction of 2- and 4-point functions in a paired Luttinger liquid of hardcore bosons.
