Efficient Learning of Pauli Channels
summary
Provides concrete, efficiently implementable routines to learn Pauli channels: general full-channel estimation requires n·2^n/ε^2 measurements to recover Pauli probabilities to relative precision using randomized compiling, long sequences of single-qubit Cliffords/Paulis, Walsh–Hadamard transforms and exponential fits; s-sparse channels recover with about s·n measurements and O(s n^2) classical time via hashing and peeling; bounded-degree Markov-factor channels learn in polynomial time with ~N^2 log N samples (exp(K) prefactor) giving global L1 guarantees that translate to diamond-distance for Pauli channels; demonstrated on 14-qubit IBM, 2^14 rates with ~2×10^5–10^6 shots, recovering probabilities down to ~10^−5.
