We develop a fast phase retrieval method which can utilize a large class of local phaseless correlation-based measurements in order to recover a given signal x ∈ℂᵈ (up to an unknown global phase) in near-linear 𝒪 ( d log⁴ d )-time. Accompanying theoretical analysis proves that the proposed algorithm is guaranteed to deterministically recover all signals x satisfying a natural flatness (i.e., non-sparsity) condition for a particular choice of deterministic correlation-based measurements. A randomized version of these same measurements is then shown to provide nonuniform probabilistic recovery guarantees for arbitrary signals x ∈ℂᵈ. Numerical experiments demonstrate the method's speed, accuracy, and robustness in practice -- all code is made publicly available. Finally, we conclude by developing an extension of the proposed method to the sparse phase retrieval problem; specifically, we demonstrate a sublinear-time compressive phase retrieval algorithm which is guaranteed to recover a given s-sparse vector x ∈ℂᵈ with high probability in just 𝒪(s log⁵ s ·logd)-time using only 𝒪(s log⁴ s ·logd) magnitude measurements. In doing so we demonstrate the existence of compressive phase retrieval algorithms with near-optimal linear-in-sparsity runtime complexities.
