Quantum error correction (QEC) is an essential concept for any quantum information processing device. Typically, QEC is designed with minimal assumptions about the noise process; this generic assumption exacts a high cost in efficiency and…

Estimating the unitarity of an unknown quantum channel $\mathcal{E}$ provides information on how much it is unitary, which is a basic and important problem in quantum device certification and benchmarking. Unitarity estimation can be…
If a quantum channel or process cannot be described by any measure-and-prepare scheme, we may say the channel is in \textit{quantum domain} (QD) since it can transmit quantum correlations. The concept of QD clarifies the role of quantum…
