contents Extracting information from quantum systems is crucial in quantum physics and information processing. Methods based on randomized measurements, like shadow estimation, show advantages in effectively achieving such tasks. However, randomized measurements require the application of random unitary evolution, which unavoidably necessitates frequent adjustments to the experimental setup or circuit parameters, posing challenges for practical implementations. To address these limitations, positive operator-valued measurements (POVMs) have been integrated to realize real-time single-setting shadow estimation. In this work, we advance the POVM-based shadow estimation by reducing the CNOT gate count for the implementation circuits of informationally complete POVMs (IC-POVMs), in particular, the symmetric IC-POVMs (SIC-POVMs), through the dimension dilation framework. We show that any single-qubit minimal IC-POVM can be implemented using at most 2 CNOT gates, while an SIC-POVM can be implemented with only 1 CNOT gate. In particular, we provide a concise form of the compilation circuit of any SIC-POVM along with an efficient algorithm for the determination of gate parameters. Moreover, we apply the optimized circuit compilation to shadow estimation, showcasing its noise-resilient performance and highlighting the flexibility in compiling various SIC-POVMs. Our work paves the way for the practical applications of qubit IC-POVMs on quantum platforms.
