The newly constructed pseudomagic ensembles possess low nonstabilizerness but are computationally indistinguishable from those with high nonstabilizerness, having implications for quantum scramblers, cryptography, and magic state distillation.

Extracting information efficiently from quantum systems is crucial for processing. Classical shadows enable predicting many properties of arbitrary states using few measurements. While random single-qubit measurements are experimentally friendly and suitable learning low-weight Pauli observables, they perform poorly nonlocal observables. Introducing a shallow circuit before improves sample efficiency high-weight observables low-rank properties. However, in practice, these circuits can be...

We present GIGA-Lens: a gradient-informed, GPU-accelerated Bayesian framework for modeling strong gravitational lensing systems, implemented in TensorFlow and JAX. The three components, optimization using multi-start gradient descent, posterior covariance estimation with variational inference, sampling via Hamiltonian Monte Carlo, all take advantage of information through automatic differentiation massive parallelization on graphics processing units (GPUs). test our pipeline large set...

Extracting information efficiently from quantum systems is a major component of processing tasks. Randomized measurements, or classical shadows, enable predicting many properties arbitrary states using few measurements. While random single qubit measurements are experimentally friendly and suitable for learning low-weight Pauli observables, they perform poorly nonlocal observables. Prepending shallow circuit before maintains this experimental friendliness, but also has favorable sample...

High-fidelity quantum entanglement enables key networking capabilities such as secure communication and distributed computing, but distributing entangled states through optical fibers is limited by noise loss. Entanglement distillation protocols address this problem extracting high-fidelity Bell pairs from multiple noisy ones. The primary objective minimizing the resource overhead: number of input needed to distill each output pair. While achieving optimal overhead are known in theory, they...

Entanglement serves as a foundational pillar in quantum information theory, delineating the boundary between what is classical and quantum. The common assumption that higher degree of entanglement corresponds to greater “quantumness.” However, this folk belief challenged by fact classically simulable operations, such Clifford circuits, can create highly entangled states. simulability these states raises question: What are differences “low-magic” “high-magic” entanglement? To understand...

This work uncovers a fundamental connection between doped stabilizer states, concept from quantum information theory, and the structure of eigenstates in perturbed many-body systems. We prove that for Hamiltonians consisting sum commuting Pauli operators (i.e., Hamiltonians) perturbation composed limited number arbitrary terms, can be represented as states with small nullity. result enables application techniques to broad class systems, even highly entangled regimes. Building on this, we...

We introduce a quantum information theory-inspired method to improve the characterization of many-body Hamiltonians on near-term devices. design new class similarity transformations that, when applied as preprocessing step, can substantially simplify Hamiltonian for subsequent analysis hardware. By design, these be identified and efficiently using purely classical resources. In practice, allow us shorten requisite physical circuit-depths, overcoming constraints imposed by imperfect...

Variational Quantum Algorithms (VQAs) are a promising approach for practical applications like chemistry and materials science on near-term quantum computers as they typically reduce resource requirements. However, in order to implement VQAs, an efficient classical optimization strategy is required. Here we present new stochastic gradient descent method using adaptive number of shots at each step, called the global Coupled Adaptive Number Shots (gCANS) method, which improves prior art both...

Notions of nonstabilizerness, or "magic", quantify how non-classical quantum states are in a precise sense: exhibiting low nonstabilizerness preclude advantage. We introduce 'pseudomagic' ensembles that, despite computationally indistinguishable from those with high nonstabilizerness. Previously, such computational indistinguishability has been studied respect to entanglement, introducing the concept pseudoentanglement. However, we demonstrate that pseudomagic neither follows...

Motzkin spin-chains, which include 'colorless' (integer spin $s=1$) and 'colorful' ($s \geq 2$) variants, are one-dimensional (1D) local integer models notable for their lack of a conformal field theory (CFT) description low-energy physics, despite being gapless. The colorful variants particularly unusual, as they exhibit power-law violation the area-law entanglement entropy (as $\sqrt{n}$ in system size $n$), rather than logarithmic seen CFT. In this work, we analytically discover several...
