We investigate the sample complexity of Hamiltonian simulation: how many copies of an unknown quantum state are required to simulate a Hamiltonian encoded by the density matrix of that state? We show that the procedure proposed by Lloyd,…

We give algorithms for the optimization problem: $\max_\rho \ip{Q}{\rho}$, where $Q$ is a Hermitian matrix, and the variable $\rho$ is a bipartite {\em separable} quantum state. This problem lies at the heart of several problems in quantum…

Suppose we have an n-qubit system, and we are given a collection of local density matrices rho_1,...,rho_m, where each rho_i describes a subset C_i of the qubits. We say that the rho_i are ``consistent'' if there exists some global state…
