We introduce distance measures between quantum states, measurements, and channels based on their statistical distinguishability in generic experiments. Specifically, we analyze the average Total Variation Distance (TVD) between output…
In this work, we perform an in-depth study of recently introduced average-case quantum distances. The average-case distances approximate the average Total-Variation (TV) distance between measurement outputs of two quantum processes, in…
Total variation distance (TV distance) is a fundamental notion of distance between probability distributions. In this work, we introduce and study the problem of computing the TV distance of two product distributions over the domain…
In a recent preprint by Deutsch et al. [1995] the authors suggest the possibility of polynomial approximability of arbitrary unitary operations on $n$ qubits by 2-qubit unitary operations. We address that comment by proving strong lower…
Quantum state and process tomography are typically analyzed under the assumption that devices emit independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) states or channels. In realistic experiments, however, noise, drift, feedback, or…
Given a quantum channel and a state which satisfy a fixed point equation approximately (say, up to an error $\varepsilon$), can one find a new channel and a state, which are respectively close to the original ones, such that they satisfy an…
This paper investigates covert communication over an additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel in finite block length regime on the assumption of Gaussian codebooks. We first review some achievability and converse bounds on the…
Spin systems form an important class of undirected graphical models. For two Gibbs distributions $\mu$ and $\nu$ induced by two spin systems on the same graph $G = (V, E)$, we study the problem of approximating the total variation distance…
Quantum circuit complexity is a fundamental concept whose importance permeates quantum information, computation, many-body physics and high-energy physics. While extensively studied in closed systems, its characterization and behaviors in…
This work is about the total variation (TV) minimization which is used for recovering gradient-sparse signals from compressed measurements. Recent studies indicate that TV minimization exhibits a phase transition behavior from failure to…
The no-broadcasting theorem, a fundamental limitation on the communication of quantum information, holds that a physical process cannot broadcast copies of an unknown quantum state to two or more receivers. Recent work has explored ways of…
This work considers the use of Total variation (TV) minimization in the recovery of a given gradient sparse vector from Gaussian linear measurements. It has been shown in recent studies that there exist a sharp phase transition behavior in…
In this paper, we derive some upper and lower bounds and inequalities for the total variation distance (TVD) and the Kullback-Leibler divergence (KLD), also known as the relative entropy, between two probability measures $\mu$ and $\nu$…
Peephole optimization of quantum circuits provides a method of leveraging standard circuit synthesis approaches into scalable quantum circuit optimization. One application of this technique partitions an entire circuit into a series of…
We give new evidence that quantum circuits are substantially more powerful than classical circuits. We show, relative to a random oracle, that polynomial-size quantum circuits can sample distributions that subexponential-size classical…
The total variation distance is a metric of central importance in statistics and probability theory. However, somewhat surprisingly, questions about computing it algorithmically appear not to have been systematically studied until very…
In this work we analyze properties of generic quantum channels in the case of large system size. We use random matrix theory and free probability to show that the distance between two independent random channels converges to a constant…
The accuracy of estimating $d$-dimensional quantum states is limited by the Gill-Massar bound. It can be saturated in the qubit ($d=2$) scenario using adaptive standard quantum tomography. In higher dimensions, however, this is not the case…
We investigate some previously unexplored (or underexplored) computational aspects of total variation (TV) distance. First, we give a simple deterministic polynomial-time algorithm for checking equivalence between mixtures of product…
The ultimate limits of continuous-variable single-mode quantum teleportation due to absorption are studied, with special emphasis on (quasi-)monochromatic optical fields propagating through fibers. It is shown that even if an infinitely…
