Abstract

In this work, we consider the fundamental task of distributed inner product estimation when allowed limited communication. Suppose Alice and Bob are given k copies of an unknown n-qubit quantum state |ψ⟩,|ϕ⟩ respectively, are allowed to send q qubits to one another, and the task is to estimate |⟨ψ|ϕ⟩|² up to constant additive error. We show that k = Θ(√{2^{n-q}}) copies are essentially necessary and sufficient for this task (extending the work of Anshu, Landau and Liu (STOC'22) who considered the case when q = 0). Additionally, we also consider the task when the goal of the players is to estimate |⟨ψ|M|ϕ⟩|², for arbitrary Hermitian M. For this task we show that certain norms on M determine the sample complexity of estimating |⟨ψ|M|ϕ⟩|² when using only classical communication.
