1Measurement precision
If multiple measurements of observables are performed to determine quantum state accurately, then measurement precision is improved, but computation time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The set of observables is divided into multiple partitions, where each partition contains a subset of simultaneously measurable observables. This segmentation allows the measurement process to be organized into efficient groups, reducing the total number of separate measurement rounds needed while maintaining complete coverage of all observables.
Solution Approach 2:
Multiple partitions are merged into a combined measurement strategy where observables from different partitions are measured simultaneously when their measurement contexts are compatible. This merging reduces redundant measurements and optimizes the overall measurement process by exploiting commutation relationships between observables.
2Productivity
If existing methods for simultaneous measurement are used, then measurement efficiency is improved, but accuracy of quantum state determination does not improve sufficiently
Solution Approach 1:
The measurement strategy dynamically selects which partitions to measure based on the commutation relationships and compatibility of observables. The system adapts the measurement sequence and grouping to maximize both efficiency and accuracy, rather than following a fixed measurement protocol.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention changes the parameters of the measurement process by optimizing the partitioning strategy and selection criteria for simultaneous measurements. By adjusting how observables are grouped and measured, the system achieves better accuracy without sacrificing efficiency.

AI summary
An information processing apparatus generates a plurality of partitions, each satisfying a condition that expectation values of the observables included in the partition are simultaneously measurable. Next, the information processing apparatus extracts, from a second partition among the plurality of partitions, second observables whose expectation values are simultaneously measurable with the expectation value of each of the first observables included in a first partition among the plurality of partitions. Then, the information processing apparatus computes expectation values of the extracted second observables based on measurement results obtained through quantum computation in accordance with a first quantum circuit corresponding to the first partition and a second quantum circuit corresponding to the second partition.
