Certifying the Dimension of Classical and Quantum Systems in a Prepare-and-Measure Scenario with Independent Devices

Open access
Bowles, Joseph, Quintino, Marco Túlio, Brunner, Nicolas·2014·Physical Review Letters

Abstract

We consider the problem of testing the dimension of uncharacterized classical and quantum systems in a prepare-and-measure setup. Here we assume the preparation and measurement devices to be independent, thereby making the problem nonconvex. We present a simple method for generating nonlinear dimension witnesses for systems of arbitrary dimension. The simplest of our witnesses is highly robust to technical imperfections, and can certify the use of qubits in the presence of arbitrary noise and arbitrarily low detection efficiency. Finally, we show that this witness can be used to certify the presence of randomness, suggesting applications in quantum information processing.

    “The randomness can be estimated by adopting a dimension witness.(86) A positive value of this dimension witness could certify randomness in this scenario, similar to the fact that a violation of the Bell inequality could certify randomness of self-testing QRNG in Section ‘Self-testing QRNG’.”

    “A solution to this problem was suggested in [68], where it was shown that schemes in which one assumes that the preparation and measuring device share no correlations, and that devices do not display memory effects, certify the presence of randomness for any value of the detection efficiency .”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
