Lowering Tomography Costs in Quantum Simulation with a Symmetry Projected Operator Basis

Quantum Physics 2021-05-11 v2 Chemical Physics

Abstract

Measurement in quantum simulations provides a means for extracting meaningful information from a complex quantum state, and for quantum computing reducing the complexity of measurement will be vital for near-term applications. For most quantum simulations, the targeted state will obey a number of symmetries inherent to the system Hamiltonian. We obtain a alternative symmetry projected basis of measurement that reduces the number of measurements needed. Our scheme can be implemented at no additional cost on a quantum computer, can be implemented under a variety of measurement or tomography schemes, and is fairly resilient under noise.
