  1. Decoupling with random quantum circuits S Omar Fawzi (ETH Zürich) Joint work with Winton Brown (University College London)

  2. Random unitaries • Encoding for almost any quantum information transmission problem • Entanglement generation • Thermalization • Scrambling (black hole dynamics) • Uncertainty relations / information locking • Data hiding • … Decoupling

  3. Decoupling Sc: n-s qubits S cannot see correlations between A and E Decoupling theorem: how large can s be? U A: n qubits S: s qubits E

  4. Decoupling theorem Sc: n-s qubits [Schumacher, Westmoreland, 2001],…, [Abeyesinghe, Devetak, Hayden, Winter, 2009],…, [Dupuis, Berta, Wullschleger, Renner, 2012] U A: n qubits S: s qubits E

  5. Decoupling theorem: examples Sc: n-s qubits • A Pure: • Max. entanglement: • k EPR pairs: In this talk U A: n qubits S: s qubits E

  6. Computational efficiency • A typical unitary needs exponential time! • Two-design is sufficient: O(n2) gates • O(n) gates possible? • Physics motivation: • Time scale for thermalization • Fast scramblers (black hole information) • How fast can typical “local” dynamics decouple?

  7. Random quantum circuits • Random gate on random pair of qubits • Complexity measures: • Number of gates • Depth

  8. Random quantum circuits • RQCs of size O(n2) are approximate two-designs [Harrow, Low, 2009] • Approx two-designs decouple [Szehr, Dupuis, Tomamichel, Renner, 2013] => RQCs of size O(n2) decouple Objective: Improve to O(n)

  9. Decoupling vs. approx. two-designs • Approx. two design ≠ decoupling • [Szehr, Dupuis, Tomamichel, Renner, 2013] • [Dankert, Cleve, Emerson, Livine, 2006] • Random circuit model: e-approx two-design with O(n log(1/e)) gates • Does NOT decouple unless Ω(n2) Cannot use route More details [Brown, Poulin, soon]

  10. Main result n-s Compare to Ω(n) RQC’s with O(n log2n) gates decouple Depth: O(log3n) U n s E Almost tight Compare to Ω(log n)

  11. Proof steps n-s Recall: • Pure input ρ, no E system • Study decoupling directly S U n s E

  12. Proof setup Fourier coefficient Total mass on strings with support on S

  13. Evolution of mass dist.

  14. The Markov chain

  15. Putting things together Initial mass at level l Main technical contribution

  16. Conclusion • Summary • Random quantum circuits with O(n log2 n) gates and depth O(log3 n) decouple • Open questions • Depth improved to O(log n)? • Quantum analogue of randomness extractors • Explicit constructions of efficient unitaries? • Number of unitaries? • Geometric locality, d-dimensional lattice? • Hamiltonian evolutions?
