20 A Case Study: Simulating POVMs Qubit space with a 4-outcome POVM M = {M 1, M 2, M 3, M 4 }, where M i 0, 4 i=1 M i = I. Depolarizing noise: (1 t)m i + ttr(m i ) I, t [0, 1], i = 1,..., 4. 2 A POVM is simulable by a projective measurement if and only int M = α p α M α, where M α are projective measurements, p α 0, and α p α = 1.

21 With a Fixed POVM With the tetrahedron POVM, it is an SDP: min t t [0,1] such that (1 t)m 1 + ttr(m 1 ) I 2 = N N N+ 14, (1 t)m 2 + ttr(m 2 ) I 2 = N 12 + N N+ 24, (1 t)m 3 + ttr(m 4 ) I 2 = N 13 + N 23 + N+ 34, (1 t)m 4 + ttr(m 4 ) I 2 = N 14 + N 24 + N 34, N + ij + N ij = p ij I, N ± ij 0, ij p ij = 1, p ij 0.

22 Which POVM is the Most Robust to Noise? We also optimize over POVMs: min t t [0,1] such that M i 0, 4 i=1 M i = I M = argmax{t (1 t)m 1 + ttr(m 1 ) I 2 = N N N+ 14, (1 t)m 2 + ttr(m 2 ) I 2 = N 12 + N N+ 24, (1 t)m 3 + ttr(m 4 ) I 2 = N 13 + N 23 + N+ 34, (1 t)m 4 + ttr(m 4 ) I 2 = N 14 + N 24 + N 34, N + ij + N ij = p ij I, N ± ij 0, ij p ij = 1, p ij 0.}

23 Quadratic Bilevel POP Parametrize the POVM, and it will become a min-max bilevel quadratic POP of commuting variables with convex lower level objective function. min f (x) x R n,y R m such that g i (x, y) 0, i = 1,..., s, y Y (x) = argmin w R m{f (x) : h j (x, w) 0, j = 1,..., r}.

The problem: Lower level has 55 (31) variables alone. Bilevel has about 70, without Langrange multipliers. There is no sparsity structure. Actual solution is ad hoc, via discretization.

31 Bilevel Problem of Nonconvex Lower Level We consider the ɛ-approximation of this case: min f (x, y) x R n,y Rm such that g i (x, y) 0, i = 1,..., s, h j (y) 0, j = 1,..., r, G(x, y) min w R m{g(x, w) : h j (w) 0, j = 1,..., r} ɛ. As ɛ 0, the approximation gives an increasing lower bound (arxiv: ).
