On Adaptivity in Quantum Testing

Abstract

Can adaptive strategies outperform non-adaptive ones for quantum hypothesis selection? We exhibit problems where adaptive strategies provably reduce the number of required samples by a factor four in the worst case, and possibly more when the actual difficulty of the problem makes it possible. In addition, we exhibit specific hypotheses classes for which there is a provable polynomial separation between adaptive and non-adaptive strategies -- a specificity of the quantum framework that does not appear in classical testing.
