In what limit does the estimator sample variance converge to the Cramer-Rao bound?

In the context of a single phase estimation problem of a quantum photonics experiment (related post). For example consider a 3-photon quantum circuit (such as the Mach-Zehnder which depends on some ...

Quantum speedup in Bayesian machine learning on NISQ computers

It is well known that in Bayesian learning, applying Bayes' theorem requires knowledge on how the data is distributed, and this usually requires either expensive integrals or some sampling mechanism, ...

Is it true to say that one qubit in an entangled state can instantaneously affect all others?

When a qubit is measured, there is a ‘collapse of the wave-function’ as a result is randomly chosen. If the qubit is entangled with others, this collapse will also effect them. And the way it affects ...

Can quantum computing speed up Bayesian learning?

One of the biggest drawbacks of Bayesian learning against deep learning is runtime: applying Bayes' theorem requires knowledge on how the data is distributed, and this usually requires either ...
