Toward Instance-Optimal State Certification With Incoherent Measurements

no code implementations25 Feb 2021 Sitan Chen, Jerry Li, Ryan O'Donnell

We revisit the basic problem of quantum state certification: given copies of unknown mixed state $\rho\in\mathbb{C}^{d\times d}$ and the description of a mixed state $\sigma$, decide whether $\sigma = \rho$ or $\|\sigma - \rho\|_{\mathsf{tr}} \ge \epsilon$.

Learning sparse mixtures of rankings from noisy information

no code implementations3 Nov 2018 Anindya De, Ryan O'Donnell, Rocco Servedio

We study the problem of learning an unknown mixture of $k$ rankings over $n$ elements, given access to noisy samples drawn from the unknown mixture.

Sharp bounds for population recovery

no code implementations4 Mar 2017 Anindya De, Ryan O'Donnell, Rocco Servedio

The population recovery problem is a basic problem in noisy unsupervised learning that has attracted significant research attention in recent years [WY12, DRWY12, MS13, BIMP13, LZ15, DST16].

Optimal mean-based algorithms for trace reconstruction

no code implementations9 Dec 2016 Anindya De, Ryan O'Donnell, Rocco Servedio

For any constant deletion rate $0 < \delta < 1$, we give a mean-based algorithm that uses $\exp(O(n^{1/3}))$ time and traces; we also prove that any mean-based algorithm must use at least $\exp(\Omega(n^{1/3}))$ traces.
