Almheiri–Dong–Harlow 2015: Bulk Locality and Quantum Error Correction in AdS/CFTResearch Paper
The AdS/CFT correspondence relates a theory of quantum gravity in anti-de Sitter space (the bulk) to a quantum field theory without gravity on its boundary (the CFT). A central question is how a local field operator ϕ(x) deep in the bulk is represented by boundary operators. Almheiri, Dong and Harlow (JHEP 04 (2015) 163) pointed out a puzzle.
Semidefinite Programming Hierarchies for Constrained Bilinear Optimization II: De Finetti Without Symmetry — Random Subsystems Are 3k^{3/2}d_B³ log d_B/√(n−k+1)-Close to Product in ExpectationResearch Paper
Quantum information often describes a system through a state shared among many small registers. One would like to replace the state on a few registers by a product of their individual states, because product states are easier to estimate and optimize over. The usual finite quantum de Finetti theorems obtain such approximations from permutation symmetry. A…
Semidefinite Programming Hierarchies for Constrained Bilinear Optimization I: The Linearly Constrained de Finetti SDP Hierarchy Satisfies Q ≤ SDPₙ ≤ Q + ‖G‖∞·d_B²(d_B+1)·√((2 ln 2) log d_A / n)Research Paper
Many problems in quantum information theory ask for the maximum of a linear functional over pairs of quantum states, one on each of two systems, subject to linear constraints on each state. The best success probability of an approximate quantum error-correcting code of given size is of this form: the encoder and the decoder are quantum channels, their Choi…
Projective Measurements Are Equilibration Processes (finite dimension)Research Paper
Projective measurement is usually taught together with state update: an observable is measured, a value is obtained, and the conditional state is assigned. These are two different questions. The first is the prediction of the outgoing ensemble from the incoming ensemble and the measured observable alone, before the outcome is known; the second is the…
Regular trajectories, pruning and quantum parityOpen Problem
The parity function tests whether a shallow quantum circuit can combine information from all input bits. Polynomially many ancillary qubits make the measured-output formulation substantially stronger than a restriction to clean final registers. The pinned manuscript supplies the research context.
Classical capacity and entropy inequalities for generalized amplitude dampingResearch Paper
A quantum channel models how a physical system, used to carry information, is corrupted by its environment. The classical capacity of a channel is the largest rate, in bits per use, at which classical messages can be sent with vanishing error when the sender may encode into arbitrary — possibly entangled — states of many uses and the receiver may measure…
QMA-hardness of continuum Coulomb energy with unit nuclear chargesResearch Paper
Computing the ground-state energy of electrons in the Coulomb field of fixed nuclei is the basic problem of quantum chemistry. In quantum complexity theory, a problem is QMA-hard if every problem with polynomial-time quantum verification of a quantum witness (the quantum analogue of NP) reduces to it. Hardness was previously known for lattice models with…
