AI总结:

针对泡利可观测量测量量大、MUBs存在性未解决的问题,提出包含2d个可观测量的稠密对偶基(DDB),可直接提取密度矩阵元素且用O(r log d)个可观测量实现未知秩r态的QST,提升量子态表征效率与可扩展性。

摘要:

有效理解量子系统从根本上依赖于可观测量的选择。泡利可观测量和相互无偏基(MUBs)在实践中被广泛使用,通常被认为是量子态层析(QST)的理论最优选择。然而,泡利可观测量进行全态层析需要大量测量,且无法用恒定数量的可观测量直接测量密度矩阵元素。对于MUBs,所有维度中是否存在包含d+1个基的完备集合仍未解决,凸显了对替代可观测量的需求。在这项工作中,我们引入稠密对偶基(DDB),这是一组包含2d个可观测量的新型集合,专门设计用于实现任意d维量子态的完整表征。这些可观测量具有两个关键优势:第一,无需辅助系统即可直接测量密度矩阵元素,任何元素仅需使用三个选定的可观测量即可提取;第二,除可忽略的子集外,未知秩为r的密度矩阵的QST可通过O(r log d)个可观测量实现,显著提高了测量效率。关于电路实现,每个可观测量通过迭代生成,对于n量子比特系统可高效分解为O(n⁴)个基本门。这些进展使DDB成为传统方法的实用且可扩展的替代方案,为提升量子系统表征的效率和可扩展性提供了广阔前景。

英文摘要:

Efficient understanding of a quantum system fundamentally relies on the selection of observables. Pauli observables and mutually unbiased bases (MUBs) are widely used in practice and are often regarded as theoretically optimal for quantum state tomography (QST). However, Pauli observables require a large number of measurements for full-state tomography and do not permit direct measurement of density matrix elements with a constant number of observables. For MUBs, the existence of complete sets of \(d+1\) bases in all dimensions remains unresolved, highlighting the need for alternative observables. In this work, we introduce Dense Dual Bases (DDB), a novel set of \(2d\) observables specifically designed to enable the complete characterization of any \(d\)-dimensional quantum state. These observables offer two key advantages. First, they enable direct measurement of density matrix elements without auxiliary systems, allowing any element to be extracted using only three selected observables. Second, QST for unknown rank-\(r\) density matrices--excluding only a negligible subset--can be achieved with \(O(r \log d)\) observables, significantly improving measurement efficiency. As for circuit implementation, each observable is iteratively generated and can be efficiently decomposed into \(O(n^4)\) elementary gates for an \(n\)-qubit system. These advances establish DDB as a practical and scalable alternative to traditional methods, offering promising opportunities to advance the efficiency and scalability of quantum system characterization.
