New research establishes tight bounds for quantum state tomography with limited entanglement

Two new research papers, one from arXiv and another highlighted by Hugging Face, have established tight lower bounds for quantum state tomography. These studies focus on scenarios where measurements are limited to acting on a small number of quantum copies, specifically at most $k$ fresh copies. The findings indicate that the copy complexity for estimating a $d$-dimensional state to a trace distance $\epsilon$ is approximately $\max\{d^3/(\sqrt{k}\epsilon^2), d^2/\epsilon^2\}$. This work refines previous understanding by removing restrictions on the size of $k$ relative to accuracy and provides a more precise complexity for low-rank quantum state tomography, showing that joint measurements on up to $t$ samples can improve complexity by a factor of $\sqrt{t}$.

    Tight Lower Bounds for State Tomography with Limited Entanglement

    arXiv:2609.05718v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We study state tomography when each measurement acts on at most $k$ fresh copies and no quantum memory is retained between blocks. We prove a lower bound matching the upper bound in [arXiv:2510.07788]. Thus the copy complexity of …

    Optimal Low-Rank Quantum State Tomography with Bounded-Sample Joint Measurements

    We determine the optimal sample complexity of low-rank quantum state tomography when each measurement may act jointly on at most $t$ samples. For sufficiently small $\varepsilon$, estimating an unknown state on $\mathbb{C}^d$ of rank at most $r$ to trace norm error $\varepsilon$ …
