Abstract

We give a converging semidefinite programming hierarchy of outer approximations for the set of quantum correlations of fixed dimension and derive analytical bounds on the convergence speed of the hierarchy. In particular, we give a semidefinite program of size exp(O(T12(log2(AT)+log(Q)log(AT))/ϵ2))\exp(\mathcal{O}\big(T^{12}(\log^2(AT)+\log(Q)\log(AT))/\epsilon^2\big)) to compute additive ϵ\epsilon-approximations on the values of two-player free games with T×TT\times T-dimensional quantum assistance, where AA and QQ denote the numbers of answers and questions of the game, respectively. For fixed dimension TT, this scales polynomially in QQ and quasi-polynomially in AA, thereby improving on previously known approximation algorithms for which worst-case run-time guarantees are at best exponential in QQ and AA. For the proof, we make a connection to the quantum separability problem and employ improved multipartite quantum de Finetti theorems with linear constraints. We also derive an informationally complete measurement which minimises the loss in distinguishability relative to the quantum side information - which may be of independent interest.
