Unknown Quantum
Research on unknown quantum states focuses on efficiently characterizing and learning these states using limited resources. Current efforts concentrate on developing algorithms for quantum state tomography and leveraging classical shadows and machine learning techniques, including quantum neural networks and contextual bandit approaches, to estimate properties of unknown states or predict their evolution. These advancements are crucial for improving the scalability and reliability of quantum technologies, particularly in quantum computing and quantum information science, by enabling efficient characterization of quantum systems and processes. The development of hybrid quantum-classical methods further enhances the practicality of these techniques for near-term applications.
