Fermionic Gaussianity can be tested with mode-independent sample-complexity

Deciding whether an unknown quantum state either belongs to, or is far from, a given family of states is a natural question of quantum information theory. In many such cases, there is a natural 2-copy test which always accepts whenever the state indeed belongs to the target family; it is often much more difficult, howe...

Strong matchgate designs in nearly optimal depth

Understanding the resources required to generate approximately random unitaries over various groups is a natural goal of quantum information theory. With respect to one notion of approximation, that of a design, it is known that the full unitary group can be approximated in logarithmic depth by one-dimensional circuits...

Sample-optimal learning of stabilizer states

It is well-known that learning a pure $n$-qubit stabilizer state $|\psi\rangle$ both requires, and can be accomplished with, access to a number of copies of $|\psi\rangle$ linear in $n$. However, the precise constant coefficient of this scaling does not appear to have been determined. Here we prove that $L_\delta(n)$,...
