    What computational problems can be solved efficiently with quantum computers, but not with classical computers? One of the most well understood examples of a problem that exhibits such a quantum computational advantage is sampling from quantum circuits. Based on a growing body of theoretical evidence, the problem of sampling from deep, random quantum circuits is now believed to be classically...

    Quantum state tomography (QST) aims to reconstruct an unknown quantum state from measurement statistics and is a central tool for characterization and validation in quantum information and quantum computing. A key practical limitation in QST is sample cost: reconstructing a quantum state requires data from an informationally complete measurement set, and the number of distinct measurement...

    Thermalization is a common phenomenon in classical statistical mechanics. We encounter this every time we pour milk into a coffee cup or release a gas into a larger volume. The system loses the memory of its initial conditions and achieves the equilibrium statistical value. Quantum systems normally display a unitary evolution in the time-dependent case. I show an application of the arguments...
