TLDR
It is shown that in some instances, the combinatorial phase retrieval problem can be solved by convex programming techniques, and it is proved that the methodology is robust vis‐à‐vis additive noise.
Abstract
Suppose we wish to recover a signal \input amssym $\font\abc=cmmib10\def\bi#1{\hbox{\abc#1}} {\bi x} \in {\Bbb C}^n$ from m intensity measurements of the form , ; that is, from data in which phase information is missing. We prove that if the vectors are sampled independently and uniformly at random on the unit sphere, then the signal x can be recovered exactly (up to a global phase factor) by solving a convenient semidefinite program–-a trace-norm minimization problem; this holds with large probability provided that m is on the order of , and without any assumption about the signal whatsoever. This novel result demonstrates that in some instances, the combinatorial phase retrieval problem can be solved by convex programming techniques. Finally, we also prove that our methodology is robust vis-a-vis additive noise. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Phase Retrieval via Wirtinger Flow: Theory and Algorithms

TL;DR: In this article, a nonconvex formulation of the phase retrieval problem was proposed and a concrete solution algorithm was presented. But the main contribution is that this algorithm is shown to rigorously allow the exact retrieval of phase information from a nearly minimal number of random measurements.

Phase Retrieval via Matrix Completion

TL;DR: This paper develops a novel framework for phase retrieval, a problem which arises in X-ray crystallography, diffraction imaging, astronomical imaging, and many other applications, and combines multiple structured illuminations together with ideas from convex programming to recover the phase from intensity measurements.

Phase recovery, MaxCut and complex semidefinite programming

TL;DR: In this article, the phase retrieval problem is cast as a nonconvex quadratic program over a complex phase vector and formulated a tractable relaxation (called PhaseCut) similar to the classical MaxCut semidefinite program.

Decoding by linear programming

TL;DR: F can be recovered exactly by solving a simple convex optimization problem (which one can recast as a linear program) and numerical experiments suggest that this recovery procedure works unreasonably well; f is recovered exactly even in situations where a significant fraction of the output is corrupted.

Matrix Completion With Noise

TL;DR: This paper surveys the novel literature on matrix completion and introduces novel results showing that matrix completion is provably accurate even when the few observed entries are corrupted with a small amount of noise, and shows that, in practice, nuclear-norm minimization accurately fills in the many missing entries of large low-rank matrices from just a few noisy samples.

The Rotation of Eigenvectors by a Perturbation. III

TL;DR: In this article, the difference between the two subspaces is characterized in terms of certain angles through which one subspace must be rotated in order most directly to reach the other, and Sharp bounds upon trigonometric functions of these angles are obtained from the gap and from bounds upon either the perturbation or a computable residual.

Quantum state tomography via compressed sensing.

TL;DR: These methods are specialized for quantum states that are fairly pure, and they offer a significant performance improvement on large quantum systems, and are able to reconstruct an unknown density matrix of dimension d and rank r using O(rdlog²d) measurement settings, compared to standard methods that require d² settings.
