While it is known that Tr(\rho^n) can be measured directly (i.e., without first reconstructing the density matrix) by performing joint measurements on n copies of the same state rho, it is shown here that random measurements on single copies suffice, too. Averaging over the random measurements directly yields estimates of Tr(\rho^n), even when it is not known what measurements were actually performed (so that one cannot reconstruct \rho).

  1. Scrambling Enabled Entropy Accumulation in Open Quantum Systems

    quant-ph 2025-02 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A weak probe coupled to an open quantum system accumulates a finite Rényi entropy increase only when the system is in the scrambling phase, vanishing in the dissipative phase as the probe coupling goes to zero.

  2. Kinematic budget of quantum correlations

    quant-ph 2026-03 reject novelty 5.0 of 10

    Global and marginal purities alone are claimed to place any state in a two-dimensional kinematic diagram whose boundary crossings certify NPT entanglement, steering, Bell nonlocality, and bounds on magic.
