Abstract

We study the problem of tolerant testing of stabilizer states. In particular, we give the first such algorithm that accepts mixed state inputs. Formally, given a mixed state ρ\rho that either has fidelity at least ε1\varepsilon_1 with some stabilizer pure state or fidelity at most ε2\varepsilon_2 with all such states, where ε2ε1O(1)\varepsilon_2 \leq \varepsilon_1^{O(1)}, our algorithm distinguishes the two cases with sample complexity poly(1/ε1)\text{poly}(1/\varepsilon_1) and time complexity O(npoly(1/ε1))O(n \cdot \text{poly}(1/\varepsilon_1)).
