abstract

We show that the spectral norm of a random $n_1\times n_2\times \cdots \times n_K$ tensor (or higher-order array) scales as $O\left(\sqrt{(\sum_{k=1}^{K}n_k)\log(K)}\right)$ under some sub-Gaussian assumption on the entries. The proof is based on a covering number argument. Since the spectral norm is dual to the tensor nuclear norm (the tightest convex relaxation of the set of rank one tensors), the bound implies that the convex relaxation yields sample complexity that is linear in (the sum of) the number of dimensions, which is much smaller than other recently proposed convex relaxations of tensor rank that use unfolding.

    quant-ph 2025-05 conditional novelty 8.0 of 10

    A quantum extension of the low-degree method shows that state designs imply computational hardness for many single-copy quantum measurement strategies, yielding new information-computation gaps.

    For a bipartite mixed state obtained by tracing out one subsystem of a tripartite Haar-random pure state, the relative entropy of entanglement equals log(d_A d_B / max(d_A,d_B,d_C)) plus an absolute constant, with hig...

    A lower bound shows balanced multi-species spin glasses have free energy at least that of a single-species model with variance-matched couplings, and this bound is sharp in several regimes.
