Abstract

We describe a protocol for cross-platform verification of quantum simulators and quantum computers. We show how to measure directly the overlap Tr[ρ_{1}ρ_{2}] and the purities Tr[ρ_{1,2}^{2}], and thus a fidelity of two, possibly mixed, quantum states ρ_{1} and ρ_{2} prepared in separate experimental platforms. We require only local measurements in randomized product bases, which are communicated classically. As a proof of principle, we present the measurement of experiment-theory fidelities for entangled 10-qubit quantum states in a trapped ion quantum simulator.

  • Randomized measurements can be used to measure the overlap Tr(ρ1 ρ2) of two density matrices.

    “Alternatively, one can use randomized measurements to measure the overlap Tr ( ρ 1 ρ 2 ) of two density matrices ρ 1 , ρ 2 (Elben et al. , 2020, 2019; van Enk and Beenakker, 2012).”

  • Using randomized measurements, the kernel can be computed in a time that scales linearly with the dataset size D, which allows for processing large datasets with quantum computers.

    “Using randomized measurements (Elben et al. , 2020), the kernel can be computed in a time that scales linearly with the dataset size D , which allows for processing large datasets with quantum computers (Haug et al. , 2021c).”

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.
