RandomMeas.jl: A Julia Package for Randomized Measurements in Quantum Devices

Summarize this article with:
AbstractWe introduce $\texttt{RandomMeas.jl}$, a modular and high-performance open-source software package written in Julia for implementing and analyzing randomized measurement protocols in quantum computing. Randomized measurements provide a powerful framework for extracting properties of quantum states and processes such as expectation values, entanglement, and fidelities using simple experimental procedures combined with classical post-processing, most prominently via the classical shadow formalism. RandomMeas.jl covers the full randomized measurement workflow, from the generation of measurement settings for use on a quantum computer, the optional classical simulation of randomized measurements with tensor networks, to a suite of estimators for physical properties based on classical shadows. The package includes advanced features such as robust and shallow shadow techniques, batch estimators, and built-in statistical uncertainty estimation. Its unified, composable design enables the scalable application and further development of randomized measurements protocols across theoretical and experimental contexts.Featured image: RandomMeas.jl overview. The Julia package provides an end-to-end, modular workflow for randomized-measurement experiments—generating measurement settings, loading or simulating measurement data, constructing classical shadows, and computing scalable estimators with uncertainty quantification.Popular summaryRandomized measurement protocols provide an efficient quantum-to-classical conversion: by performing a series of randomly chosen measurements, one obtains a compact classical dataset (bitstrings) that can later be reprocessed to estimate many properties of the underlying quantum state, without redesigning the experiment for each new question. RandomMeas.jl is an open-source Julia package developed to make these methods broadly accessible and scalable. It offers a unified workflow—from generating randomized measurement settings, to handling measurement data, to computing classical-shadow-based estimators with uncertainty quantification—and is designed to be modular and extensible, so that new protocols and analysis routines can be incorporated and shared across theory and experiments.► BibTeX data@article{Elben2026randommeasjljulia, doi = {10.22331/q-2026-04-28-2086}, url = {https://doi.org/10.22331/q-2026-04-28-2086}, title = {Random{M}eas.jl: {A} {J}ulia {P}ackage for {R}andomized {M}easurements in {Q}uantum {D}evices}, author = {Elben, Andreas and Vermersch, Benoit}, journal = {{Quantum}}, issn = {2521-327X}, publisher = {{Verein zur F{\"{o}}rderung des Open Access Publizierens in den Quantenwissenschaften}}, volume = {10}, pages = {2086}, month = apr, year = {2026} }► References [1] Andreas Elben, Steven T.
