REDUCED DENSITY MATRIX ESTIMATION FOR PARTICLE-NUMBER-CONSERVING FERMION SYSTEMS USING CLASSICAL SHADOWS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240046137 titled 'REDUCED DENSITY MATRIX ESTIMATION FOR PARTICLE-NUMBER-CONSERVING FERMION SYSTEMS USING CLASSICAL SHADOWS
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a computing system that includes a classical computing device and a quantum computing device. The classical computing device has a processor that generates a random unitary matrix called a Haar-random unitary matrix. The processor also computes a single-particle-basis fermion rotation based on the Haar-random unitary matrix and outputs it to the quantum computing device. The quantum computing device receives a specification of a fermion wavefunction and the single-particle-basis fermion rotation. It applies the rotation to the wavefunction and measures the rotated wavefunction to obtain a classical shadow measurement result. The classical computing device's processor receives the measurement result and estimates a k-reduced density matrix element of the fermion wavefunction based on the measurement result and the Haar-random unitary matrix. The processor then outputs the k-reduced density matrix element.
