Abstract: This paper considers the noisy sparse phase retrieval problem: recovering a sparse signal xinmathbbRp from noisy quadratic measurements yj=(ajx)2+epsilonj, j=1,ldots,m, with independent sub-exponential noise epsilonj. The goals are to understand the effect of the sparsity of x on the estimation precision and to construct a computationally feasible estimator to achieve the optimal rates. Inspired by the Wirtinger Flow [12] proposed for noiseless and non-sparse phase retrieval, a novel thresholded gradient descent algorithm is proposed and it is shown to adaptively achieve the minimax optimal rates of convergence over a wide range of sparsity levels when the aj's are independent standard Gaussian random vectors, provided that the sample size is sufficiently large compared to the sparsity of x.
