[论文解读] Efficient methods for one-shot quantum communication
本文提出了两种用于高效单次量子通信的新方法:一种资源消耗更少的改进型凸分割引理,以及一种受经典相关采样启发的方法。通过仅使用 O(n) 量子催化比特,实现基于经典类单位操作的量子去耦合,其电路规模为 O(n log n),深度为对数级,从而显著降低量子电路复杂度。同时,该方法实现了近乎最优的纠缠辅助量子信道编码,所需预共享纠缠比特数量相比以往方法呈指数级减少。
We address the question of efficient implementation of quantum protocols, with small communication and entanglement, and short depth circuit for encoding or decoding. We introduce two new methods to achieve this, the first method involving two new versions of the convex-split lemma that use much smaller amount of additional resource (in comparison to previous version) and the second method being inspired by the technique of classical correlated sampling in computer science literature. These lead to a series of new consequences, as follows. First, we consider the task of quantum decoupling, where the aim is to apply an operation on a n-qubit register so as to make it independent of an inaccessible quantum system. Many previous works achieve decoupling with the aid of a random unitary. It is known that random unitaries can be replaced by random circuits of size O(nlog n) and depth poly(log n), or unitary 2-designs based on Clifford circuits of similar size and depth. We show that given any choice of basis such as the computational basis, decoupling can be achieved by a unitary that takes basis vectors to basis vectors. Thus, the circuit acts in a `classical' manner and additionally uses O(n) catalytic qubits in maximally mixed quantum state. Our unitary performs addition and multiplication modulo a prime and hence achieves a circuit size of O(n\log n) and logarithmic depth. This shows that the circuit complexity of integer multiplication (modulo a prime) is lower bounded by the optimal circuit complexity of decoupling. Next, we construct a new one-shot entanglement-assisted protocol for quantum channel coding that achieves near-optimal communication through a given channel. Furthermore, the number of qubits of pre-shared entanglement is exponentially smaller than that used in the previous protocol that was near-optimal in communication. We also achieve similar results for the one-shot quantum state redistribution. Joint work with Rahul Jain. https://arxiv.org/abs/1809.07056
