确定了学习玻色高斯量子态所需的最少样本数,突破了长期未解的效率极限问题。

Towards sample-optimal learning of bosonic Gaussian quantum states

  • 通过理论推导给出学习n模高斯态的样本下限,区分了高斯与非高斯测量的差异。
  • 发现纯态可用高斯测量近似最优,而被动态必须用非高斯测量才能达到最优。
  • 揭示自适应测量对实现能量无关的高效学习至关重要,适用于量子传感与基准测试。

连续变量系统在量子计算、通信和传感中具有关键作用。玻色高斯态自然出现在引力波探测和暗物质搜索等多种应用中。一个基本问题是:如何用尽可能少的样本表征未知的玻色高斯态?尽管历经数十年研究,其最优效率极限仍不明确。本文研究在能量不超过E、以高概率学习到ε迹距离精度下的n模高斯态所需样本数。证明了高斯测量的下界为Ω(n³/ε²),与已知上界仅差双重对数能量因子;任意测量的下界为Ω(n²/ε²)。进一步给出上界˜O(n²/ε²),前提是高斯态被限定为纯态或被动态。有趣的是,纯态可用高斯测量近乎最优,而被动态则需非高斯测量才能最优。针对单模态情形,在非纠缠高斯测量下,我们得到非自适应方案的近乎紧致下界˜Θ(E/ε²),表明自适应是实现能量无关缩放的必要条件。作为副产品,我们建立了高斯态迹距离与威格纳分布总变差距离之间的精确关系,并获得学习任意高斯态威格纳分布至ε总变差距离的近乎紧致样本复杂度。本工作极大推进了玻色体系量子学习理论,对量子传感与基准测试有实际意义。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Continuous-variable systems enable key quantum technologies in computation, communication, and sensing. Bosonic Gaussian states emerge naturally in various such applications, including gravitational-wave and dark-matter detection. A fundamental question is how to characterize an unknown bosonic Gaussian state from as few samples as possible. Despite decades-long exploration, the ultimate efficiency limit remains unclear. In this work, we study the necessary and sufficient number of copies to learn an $n$-mode Gaussian state, with energy less than $E$, to $\varepsilon$ trace distance with high probability. We prove a lower bound of $Ω(n^3/\varepsilon^2)$ for Gaussian measurements, matching the best known upper bound up to doubly-log energy dependence, and $Ω(n^2/\varepsilon^2)$ for arbitrary measurements. We further show an upper bound of $\widetilde{O}(n^2/\varepsilon^2)$ given that the Gaussian state is promised to be either pure or passive. Interestingly, while Gaussian measurements suffice for nearly optimal learning of pure Gaussian states, non-Gaussian measurements are provably required for optimal learning of passive Gaussian states. Finally, focusing on learning single-mode Gaussian states via non-entangling Gaussian measurements, we provide a nearly tight bound of $\widetildeΘ(E/\varepsilon^2)$ for any non-adaptive schemes, showing adaptivity is indispensable for nearly energy-independent scaling. As a byproduct, we establish sharp bounds on the trace distance between Gaussian states in terms of the total variation distance between their Wigner distributions, and obtain a nearly tight sample complexity bound for learning the Wigner distribution of any Gaussian state to $\varepsilon$ total variation distance. Our results greatly advance quantum learning theory in the bosonic regimes and have practical impact in quantum sensing and benchmarking applications.
