We study representation theory of the partially transposed permutation matrix algebra, a matrix representation of the diagrammatic walled Brauer algebra. This algebra plays a prominent role in mixed Schur-Weyl duality that appears in various contexts in quantum information. Our main technical result is an explicit formula for the action of the walled Brauer algebra generators in the Gelfand-Tsetlin basis. It generalizes the well-known Gelfand-Tsetlin basis for the symmetric group (also known as Young's orthogonal form or Young-Yamanouchi basis). We provide two applications of our result to quantum information. First, we show how to simplify semidefinite optimization problems over unitary-equivariant quantum channels by performing a symmetry reduction. Second, we derive an efficient quantum circuit for implementing the optimal port-based quantum teleportation protocol, exponentially improving the known trivial construction. As a consequence, this also exponentially improves the known lower bound for the amount of entanglement needed to implement unitaries non-locally. Both applications require a generalization of quantum Schur transform to tensors of mixed unitary symmetry. We develop an efficient quantum circuit for this mixed quantum Schur transform and provide a matrix product state representation of its basis vectors. For constant local dimension, this yields an efficient classical algorithm for computing any entry of the mixed quantum Schur transform unitary.

  1. Optimal complex conjugation of unknown isometry channels

    quant-ph 2026-07 accept novelty 7.0 of 10

    The optimal n-use fidelity for complex conjugating an unknown isometry C^d→C^D is derived in closed form, with parallel protocols proven optimal among all general quantum superchannels.

  2. Fixed points in de Finetti hierarchies

    quant-ph 2026-07 accept novelty 7.0 of 10

    Fixed-point constraints on de Finetti hierarchies yield O(√(log n)/n) double-sided rates, block-structured dimension dependence, and poly-time certifiable separable inner approximations for fixed local dimensions.

  3. Sequential quantum processes with group symmetries

    quant-ph 2025-10 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    A canonical streaming circuit decomposition for (G×H)-invariant quantum combs is derived, and numerical optimization suggests a deterministic 7-query transposition protocol for qutrits that is reported as exact.

  4. Quantum Simulation of Random Unitaries from Clebsch-Gordan Transforms

    quant-ph 2025-09 accept novelty 7.0 of 10

    Clebsch-Gordan transforms give exact compressed oracles for Haar-random unitary group actions, with efficient circuits for U(d).

  5. No-go theorems for sublinear-depth group designs

    quant-ph 2025-06 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Any group with an invariant state cannot have approximate k-designs built from sublinear-depth local circuits; linear depth is necessary for matchgate, orthogonal, symplectic, Clifford (k=8), and mixed-unitary group designs.

  6. Port-based telecloning of an unknown quantum state

    quant-ph 2025-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A new port-based telecloning protocol, built from a partially symmetrized pretty good measurement, asymptotically achieves the optimal quantum cloning fidelity and outperforms clone-and-MPBT for small port numbers.
