Partitioning Pauli Operators: in Theory and in Practice
(University of Waterloo, 2019-09-04)Measuring the expectation value of Pauli operators on prepared quantum states is a fundamental task in the variational quantum eigensolver. Simultaneously measuring sets of operators allows for fewer measurements and an ... -
Studies of symmetries that give special quantum states the "right to exist"
(University of Waterloo, 2015-05-01)In this thesis we study symmetric structures in Hilbert spaces known as symmetric informationally complete positive operator-valued measures (SIC-POVMs), mutually unbiased bases (MUBs), and MUB-balanced states. Our tools ...
