Entangling power and fidelity diagnostic for bipartite quantum channels

We study two distinct diagnostics of bipartite quantum channels: the average fidelity between a desired state and noisy output across different classes of input states, and generation of entanglement from pure product input states, quantified by well-defined entangling power. These diagnostics are generally independent, but together they provide a more complete description of bipartite channels. We show that the fidelity averaged over any local-unitary orbit with fixed Schmidt coefficients for equal local dimensions is completely determined by the average input-output fidelity and its restriction to product inputs. We also introduce concurrence- and negativity-based entangling power for two-qubit channels, prove their convexity and monotonicity under local postprocessing, and show that, unlike the previously proposed linear-entropy quantity, they vanish for all separable channels. Representative separable and nonseparable channels are investigated. Finally, we generalize our definitions of entangling power to nonproduct inputs, and provide an analytical lower bound for the concurrence-based entanglement variation, showing its effectiveness with specific examples.

Spin-coherent quantum designs

Coherent states bridge the gap between quantum and classical physics, but their overcomplete and nonorthogonal nature makes it difficult to identify the minimal discrete set needed to reconstruct quantum information. Finite spin-coherent tomography and discrete coherent-state operator bases are known, but here we address the more specific rank-resolved problem of preserving the canonical contravariant-symbol representation. We show that the canonical finite coherent-state formula reconstructs every operator in the rank-$S$ sector exactly if and only if the sampling points form a spherical $(2J+S)$-design. We call the associated configurations spin-coherent quantum designs. We further give a fully explicit positive-weight Gauss-Legendre construction that avoids the need for an equal-weight spherical design. Together, these results establish a unified framework for reading out physical observables from a handful of measurement samples, playing for spin systems the role that the so-called von Neumann lattice plays for canonical coherent states. Finally, we derive practical protocols for estimating moments of spin operators from these constructions, with direct applications to polarimetry, magnetometry, and quantum state tomography.

Benchmarking quantum devices beyond classical capabilities

Rapid development of quantum computing technology has led to a wide variety of sophisticated quantum devices. Benchmarking these systems becomes crucial for understanding their capabilities and paving the way for future advancements. The Quantum Volume (QV) test is one of the most widely used benchmarks for evaluating quantum computer performance due to its architecture independence. However, as the number of qubits in a quantum device grows, the test faces a significant limitation. It requires determining the subspace of the most probable outcomes, a task that is typically performed via classical simulation of the quantum circuit and therefore incurs an exponential computational cost. In this work, we propose modifications to the QV test, by adopting a carefully restricted circuit ensemble generated from a gate set that remains universal for quantum computation, that allows for the direct determination of the heavy-output subspace. Crucially, the modified circuits remain capable of general quantum computation. This approach overcomes the scalability barrier of the Quantum Volume test beyond classical computational limits, while still probing the key features of universal quantum computing.

Fidelity decay and error accumulation in random quantum circuits

We present a comprehensive analysis of fidelity decay and error accumulation in faulty quantum circuit models. Our work devises an analytical bound for the average fidelity between desired and faulty output states, accounting for errors that may arise during the implementation of two-qubit gates and multi-qubit permutations. It is shown that fidelity decays exponentially with both circuit depth and the number of qubits raised to an architecture-dependent power, and determine the decay rates as a function of the two types of errors. Furthermore, we establish a robust linear relationship between fidelity and the heavy output frequency used in Quantum Volume tests to benchmark quantum processors, under the considered errors protocol. These findings pave the way for predicting the behavior of fidelity in the presence of specific errors and offer insights into the best strategies for increasing Quantum Volume.

Orthonormal bases of extreme quantumness

Spin anticoherent states acquired recently a lot of attention as the most "quantum" states. Some coherent and anticoherent spin states are known as optimal quantum rotosensors. In this work, we introduce a measure of quantumness for orthonormal bases of spin states, determined by the average anticoherence of individual vectors and the Wehrl entropy. In this way, we identify the most coherent and most quantum states, which lead to orthogonal measurements of extreme quantumness. Their symmetries can be revealed using the Majorana stellar representation, which provides an intuitive geometrical representation of a pure state by points on a sphere. Results obtained lead to maximally (minimally) entangled bases in the $2j+1$ dimensional symmetric subspace of the $2^{2j}$ dimensional space of states of multipartite systems composed of $2j$ qubits. Some bases found are iso-coherent as they consist of all states of the same degree of spin-coherence.
