We consider the problem of phase retrieval from magnitudes of short-time Fourier transform (STFT) measurements. It is well-known that signals are uniquely determined (up to global phase) by their STFT magnitude when the underlying window…

This paper considers the recovery of a rank $r$ positive semidefinite matrix $X X^T\in\mathbb{R}^{n\times n}$ from $m$ scalar measurements of the form $y_i := a_i^T X X^T a_i$ (i.e., quadratic measurements of $X$). Such problems arise in a…
