Abstract

Characterizing multipartite quantum systems is crucial for quantum computing and many-body physics. The problem, however, becomes challenging when the system size is large and the properties of interest involve correlations among a large number of particles. Here we introduce a neural network model that can predict various quantum properties of many-body quantum states with constant correlation length, using only measurement data from a small number of neighboring sites. The model is based on the technique of multi-task learning, which we show to offer several advantages over traditional single-task approaches. Through numerical experiments, we show that multi-task learning can be applied to sufficiently regular states to predict global properties, like string order parameters, from the observation of short-range correlations, and to distinguish between quantum phases that cannot be distinguished by single-task networks. Remarkably, our model appears to be able to transfer information learnt from lower dimensional quantum systems to higher dimensional ones, and to make accurate predictions for Hamiltonians that were not seen in the training.

The Quantum Agreement Theorem

Intersubjective consistency asks when different observers of a physical system, reasoning from a shared theory, will agree on their probability assessments. Classical probability theory provides a benchmark in the form of the Agreement Theorem (Aumann, 1976). We study the quantum mechanics (QM) analog to the classical Agreement Theorem in a finite-dimensional tripartite setting in which two observers obtain information via local projective measurements. We represent their mutual awareness by common certainty, which is formally an infinite hierarchy of certainty operators concerning the probability of an event of interest. We first prove that if the observers' measurements commute with one another and with the property of interest, common certainty forces their probability assessments to coincide, thereby recovering a QM analog to the classical Agreement Theorem. We then construct a one-parameter family of qutrit-qubit-qubit models in which one observer's measurement does not commute with the property and common certainty of disagreement occurs -- a distinctively QM phenomenon. The mechanism is coherence between branches distinguished by one but not the other observer's measurement. When measurement outcomes are stored in a classical register, the resulting dephasing removes this coherence and restores agreement. Finally, we prove that QM does not permit the extreme 0-1 configuration in which Alice is certain of a property and is also certain that Bob is certain of its negation. These results aim to turn debate in QM about observer-dependent facts into precise mathematical conditions for when intersubjective agreement or disagreement in QM can be sustained.

Exact diffusion coefficients for quantum--classical hybrid walks

One-dimensional quantum--classical hybrid walks are introduced by combining quantum and classical steps under periodic and random protocols. Exact diffusion coefficients are derived for both protocols throughout the diffusive regime. The exact results show how diffusion depends on the average frequency and temporal arrangement of classical steps. As the average frequency approaches zero, both diffusion coefficients diverge inversely with the frequency. At matched average frequencies, the ratio of the diffusion coefficients for the random and periodic protocols approaches two. A finite-mode approximation is also developed and tested against the exact diffusion coefficient for the random protocol. The exact results for the one-dimensional model provide a foundation for future studies of more general quantum--classical hybrid walks.

Error Exponents of Probabilistic Quantum Resource Distillation

In this manuscript, we establish a unified framework for analyzing the conditional error exponents of probabilistic resource distillation under approximately resource-nongenerating instruments. For generic quantum resource theories satisfying suitable structural conditions, we derive general oneshot bounds on the conditional distillation error exponents. By relating probabilistic distillation to postselected composite quantum hypothesis testing, we obtain bounds of the conditional error exponents for coherence distillation under finite blocklength and asymptotic zero-rate scenarios, we furthermore obtain analytical characterizations of the conditional error exponents for entanglement and magic distillation under finite blocklength and asymptotic zero-rate scenarios. For several representative families of states in entanglement and magic resource theories, these characterizations reduce to explicit closed-form formulas. Comparing them with the corresponding deterministic distillation exponents, we identify regimes in which postselection yields a strict improvement in the exponential decay rate of the conditional error. Our results reveal an operational advantage of postselection in quantum resource distillation and establish postselected composite hypothesis testing as a general tool for characterizing probabilistic resource-processing tasks.
