contents We provide more sample-efficient versions of some basic routines in quantum data analysis, along with simpler proofs. Particularly, we give a quantum "Threshold Search" algorithm that requires only $O((\log^2 m)/ε^2)$ samples of a $d$-dimensional state $ρ$. That is, given observables $0 \le A_1, A_2, ..., A_m \le 1$ such that $\mathrm{tr}(ρA_i) \ge 1/2$ for at least one $i$, the algorithm finds $j$ with $\mathrm{tr}(ρA_j) \ge 1/2-ε$. As a consequence, we obtain a Shadow Tomography algorithm requiring only $\tilde{O}((\log^2 m)(\log d)/ε^4)$ samples, which simultaneously achieves the best known dependence on each parameter $m$, $d$, $ε$. This yields the same sample complexity for quantum Hypothesis Selection among $m$ states; we also give an alternative Hypothesis Selection method using $\tilde{O}((\log^3 m)/ε^2)$ samples.
