Provably Efficient Learning of Fermionic Correlations under Particle-Number Symmetry

arXiv:2606.30601v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Predicting local fermionic correlations is a central task in quantum many-body physics, as these correlations encode many physically relevant local observables. The ubiquitous particle-number symmetry imposes strong structural constraints on quantum states, suggesting that local correlations should be learned with fewer samples than by symmetry-agnostic approaches. However, it has remained unclear whether such a provable advantage exists in collective learning of local correlations. Here, we develop a framework of number-conserving fermionic-shadow tomography based on random orbital rotations. We prove that, for every given order $k$, we can simultaneously estimate all $k$-body fermionic correlations of an $N$-mode $\eta$-particle state with a given variance $\varepsilon^2$ using only $O_k(\eta^k/\varepsilon^2)$ samples, which are independent of the system size $N$. We further establish a matching information-theoretic lower bound $\Omega_k(\eta^k/\varepsilon^2)$ for any adaptive protocol based on single-copy measurements, showing that the $(\eta^k,\varepsilon)$-dependence is optimal up to constants depending only on $k$. Furthermore, numerical studies show a 20-fold query reduction for one-body correlation estimation at $N=200$, $\eta=20$, and $\varepsilon=10^{-2}$, compared with the best alternative including Heisenberg-limited estimation methods. Relative to fermionic Gaussian-unitary shadows, sample costs for the square-lattice Fermi-Hubbard model at $N=288$ are reduced by factors of $148$ for energy density and $161$ for spin structure factor estimation. For molecular energy derivatives with respect to atomic coordinates, our method reduces sample requirements by factors of $53$ for $\mathrm{Cr}_2$ and $18.5$ for $[\mathrm{Fe}_2\mathrm{S}_2]^{2-}$ at $N=128$. These results demonstrate the practical advantage of particle-number symmetry for fermionic observable estimation.
