Structured Hamiltonian Learning for Multiqubit Conditional Phase Gates

Abstract:Accurate measurement of an intended conditional phase does not by itself place a multiqubit phase gate in its declared generalized-gate equivalence class. We cast the diagnosis as structured Hamiltonian learning of the diagonal successful block in a known basis: Ramsey measurements on a connected graph reconstruct a target-relative eigenphase map; a Walsh transform then yields the per-cycle stroboscopic error generator in a selected logarithm branch, whose branch-dependent coefficients alone cannot decide global equivalence. For diagonal Pauli-Z dressing of weight at most m we derive an exact branch-independent criterion from multiplicative Boolean-Mobius invariants, converted at finite shot counts into a pass/fail/unresolved decision under prespecified tolerances and simultaneous confidence, separate from model rejection. For shared-control C^mZ gates a circular target-face contrast isolates each intended conditional phase, yet a support theorem exhibits forbidden interactions invisible to every target face once multiple targets or external spectators are present. We derive a Cramer-Rao bound for arbitrary integer phase contrasts, recovering the 4^m attempted-circuit scaling of a uniform (m+1)-body face, and quantify degradation from visibility loss, heralded survival, readout confusion, and correlated noise, while systematic bias triggers model rejection. Seeded simulations implement the 4M-setting multiplexed acquisition end to end: for M=3,4,5 at a common budget its mean phase-map RMSE is 0.689-0.794 times a separately compiled statewise scan, and a blind-interaction test yields 300/300 global-audit rejections versus 1/300 for target faces. These results estimate the error generator of a diagonal successful block under a specified acquisition model; they are not unknown-basis Hamiltonian identification, arbitrary-channel tomography, or hardware certification.
