contents Quantum computing is finding promising applications in optimization, machine learning and physics, leading to the development of various models for representing quantum information. Because these representations are often studied in different contexts (many-body physics, machine learning, formal verification, simulation), little is known about fundamental trade-offs between their succinctness and the runtime of operations to update them. We therefore analytically investigate three widely-used quantum state representations: matrix product states (MPS), decision diagrams (DDs), and restricted Boltzmann machines (RBMs). We map the relative succinctness of these data structures and provide the complexity for relevant query and manipulation operations. Further, to chart the balance between succinctness and operation efficiency, we extend the concept of rapidity with support for the non-canonical data structures studied in this work, showing in particular that MPS is at least as rapid as some DDs. By providing a knowledge compilation map for quantum state representations, this paper contributes to the understanding of the inherent time and space efficiency trade-offs in this area.
