Abstract

Shadow estimation is an efficient method for predicting many observables of a quantum state with a statistical guarantee. In the multi-shot scenario, one performs projective measurement on the sequentially prepared state for $K$ times after the same unitary evolution, and repeats this procedure for $M$ rounds of random sampled unitary. As a result, there are $MK$ times measurements in total. Here we analyze the performance of shadow estimation in this multi-shot scenario, which is characterized by the variance of estimating the expectation value of some observable $O$. We find that in addition to the shadow-norm $|O |_{mathrm{shadow}}$ introduced in [1], the variance is also related to another norm, and we denote it as the cross-shadow-norm $|O |_{mathrm{Xshadow}}$. For both random Pauli and Clifford measurements, we analyze and show the upper bounds of $|O |_{mathrm{Xshadow}}$. In particular, we figure out the exact variance formula for Pauli observable under random Pauli measurements. Our work gives theoretical guidance for the application of multi-shot shadow estimation.

Learning the properties of quantum systems is of fundamental and practical interest.
Shadow estimation is an efficient approach to this task via randomized measurements. To compensate for the cost of the realization of random unitary evolution, one can conduct multi-shot shadow estimation, where projective measurements are performed on the sequentially prepared state for many times under the $same$ unitary evolution, and this procedure is repeated for a few rounds of randomly sampled unitary.

The current work systematically analyzes the statistical performance of shadow estimation in this multi-shot scenario. We introduce a key quantity——the cross-shadow-norm, which supplements the original shadow-norm. For both random Pauli and Clifford measurement settings, we analyze and give the estimation of the cross-shadow-norm. In particular, we figure out the exact variance for Pauli observables under random Pauli measurements and find the advantage of this multi-shot framework. In the meantime, we indicate, with the help of numerical simulation, that the advantage of multi-shot in Clifford measurements is not significant.

Our work gives theoretical guidance for multi-shot shadow estimation, which could be further applied to various quantum learning tasks, from quantum chemistry to quantum many-body physics.
