Abstract

Quantum state reconstruction using Neural Quantum States has been proposed as a viable tool to reduce quantum shot complexity in practical applications, and its advantage over competing techniques has been shown in numerical experiments focusing mainly on the noiseless case. In this work, we numerically investigate the performance of different quantum state reconstruction techniques for mixed states: the finite-temperature Ising model. We show how to systematically reduce the quantum resource requirement of the algorithms by applying variance reduction techniques. Then, we compare the two leading neural quantum state encodings of the state, namely, the Neural Density Operator and the positive operator-valued measurement representation, and illustrate their different performance as the mixedness of the target state varies. We find that certain encodings are more efficient in different regimes of mixedness and point out the need for designing more efficient encodings in terms of both classical and quantum resources.

Quantum state reconstruction using Neural Quantum States (NQS) is an efficient way to characterize quantum systems based on measurement data collected from experiments. It has found wide applications in quantum metrology, bechmarking, verification, and error mitigation. In this work, we numerically investigate how its performance depends on the mixedness of the target states. We propose a variance reduction technique that can reduce the quantum resource requirement of these algorithms. Through this investigation, we shed some light on how different classes of mixed NQS ansatze perform, which is of interest not only for state reconstruction but also for finite-temperature and non-equilibrium simulations. Our work paves the way towards the design of more efficient encodings in terms of both classical and quantum resources.
