abstract

In maximum-likelihood quantum state tomography, both the sample size and dimension grow exponentially with the number of qubits. It is therefore desirable to develop a stochastic first-order method, just like stochastic gradient descent for modern machine learning, to compute the maximum-likelihood estimate. To this end, we propose an algorithm called stochastic mirror descent with the Burg entropy. Its expected optimization error vanishes at a $O ( \sqrt{ ( 1 / t ) d \log t } )$ rate, where $d$ and $t$ denote the dimension and number of iterations, respectively. Its per-iteration time complexity is $O ( d^3 )$, independent of the sample size. To the best of our knowledge, this is currently the computationally fastest stochastic first-order method for maximum-likelihood quantum state tomography.

    Mini-batch stochastic gradient descent with Pauli measurements can reconstruct low-rank quantum states online, with local linear convergence guarantees and lower time complexity than prior non-convex methods.
