An Improved Sample Complexity Lower Bound for (Fidelity) Quantum State Tomography
Abstract: We show that $\Omega(rd/\epsilon)$ copies of an unknown rank-$r$, dimension-$d$ quantum mixed state are necessary in order to learn a classical description with $1 - \epsilon$ fidelity. This improves upon the tomography lower bounds obtained by Haah, et al. and Wright (when closeness is measured with respect to the fidelity function).
