量子技术有望推动科学发现,但其优势常需远超当前实验平台的处理能力。本文表明,将一个可控量子比特耦合至常规传感器,可使学习经典信号所需的测量次数呈指数级减少。这一严格量子优势适用于基础传感任务,包括学习傅里叶系数、提取时变信号的时间相关性以及估计物理可观测量的变换。利用超导腔-量子比特架构,实验演示了傅里叶幅度和时变信号学习中测量次数减少10^7倍。我们的量子特征传感算法进一步在弱信号暗物质探测和无线通信模拟中实现数量级提升。这些量子优势源自量子相空间推断(QΨ),一种统一的量子增强实验理论,能同时将实验目标与约束转化为紧致下界及最优量子增强学习算法,并生成量子优势证明。QΨ超越了量子费舍尔信息的适用范围,为实际实验任务系统性识别严谨量子优势提供了框架。结果表明,近中期量子技术可显著增强从经典信号中学习的能力。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Quantum technology has the potential to transform scientific discovery, but quantum advantages often require processing capabilities well beyond the reach of experimental platforms. We show that coupling a single controllable qubit to an otherwise conventional sensor can exponentially reduce the number of measurements required to learn classical signals. These rigorous quantum advantages apply to fundamental sensing tasks, including learning Fourier coefficients, extracting temporal correlations from time-varying signals, and estimating transformations of physical observables. Using a superconducting cavity--qubit architecture, we experimentally demonstrate $10^7$-fold reductions in the number of measurements required for Fourier-amplitude and time-varying signal learning. Our $\textit{quantum feature sensing}$ algorithms further enable orders-of-magnitude improvements in simulations of weak-signal dark matter detection and wireless communication applications. These quantum advantages are derived from Quantum Phase-Space Inference (Q$Ψ$), a unifying theory of quantum-enhanced experiments that simultaneously converts a set of experimental objectives and constraints into tight lower bounds and optimal quantum-enhanced learning algorithms while producing a certificate of quantum advantage. Q$Ψ$ extends beyond the regimes captured by quantum Fisher information and provides a framework for systematically identifying rigorous quantum advantages in practical experimental tasks. Together, our results establish that near-term quantum technology can exponentially enhance our ability to learn from classical signals.
