In this note we prove a spectral gap for various Markov chains on various functional spaces. While proving that a spectral gap exists is relatively common, explicit estimates seems somewhat rare.These estimates are then used to apply the…

A commutative POV measure $F$ with real spectrum is characterized by the existence of a PV measure $E$ (the sharp reconstruction of $F$) with real spectrum such that $F$ can be interpreted as a randomization of $E$. This paper focuses on…

We present adaptive measurement techniques tailored for variational quantum algorithms on near-term small and noisy devices. In particular, we generalise earlier "learning to measure" strategies in two ways. First, by considering a class of…
