Quantum U-statistics

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: The notion of a U-statistic for an n-tuple of identical quantum systems is introduced in analogy to the classical (commutative) case: given a selfadjoint `kernel' K acting on (mathbbCd)otimesr with r<n, we define the symmetric operator with being the kernel acting on the subset of 1,dots,n. If the systems are prepared in the i.i.d state hootimesn it is shown that the sequence of properly normalised U-statistics converges in moments to a linear combination of Hermite polynomials in canonical variables of a CCR algebra defined through the Quantum Central Limit Theorem. In the special cases of non-degenerate kernels and kernels of order 2 it is shown that the convergence holds in the stronger distribution sense. Two types of applications in quantum statistics are described: testing beyond the two simple hypotheses scenario, and quantum metrology with interacting hamiltonians.
