Abstract
A method includes providing a first quantum state at a first node, transforming the first quantum state to obtain a first plurality of transformed quantum states, and measuring the first plurality of transformed quantum states to obtain a first set of measurement results. The method further includes providing a second quantum state at a second node, transforming the second quantum state to obtain a second plurality of transformed quantum states, the second plurality of unitary operations corresponding to the first plurality of unitary operations, and measuring the second plurality of transformed quantum states to obtain a second set of measurement results. A similarity measure between the first quantum state and the second quantum state is determined in terms of the first set of measurement results and the second set of measurement results, the similarity measure including a trace product of the first quantum state and the second quantum state.
