Distinct Feedback-Strength Requirements for Quantum-State Ensemble Preparation under Channel-Equivalent Monitoring
Abstract
Different measurements of the same environment can preserve the average quantum channel yet change the feedback strength needed to prepare a state ensemble. We establish this distinction for a multiqubit register under complete Pauli monitoring, targeting the uniform ensemble of real-amplitude pure states. With unit detection efficiency, public records, and bounded Hamiltonian feedback, fixed transverse noise requires a minimum peak strength proportional to ε−1 at distributional error ε. Tangent noise instead admits a construction requiring only O[√(log(1/ε))]. At fixed preparation time, we determine the optimum over all allowed feedback policies and derive a geometric lower bound beyond radial symmetry. The separation identifies the measurement realization as part of the control-resource specification for monitored ensemble preparation.
