In brief

Analyzes accelerated gradient methods under inexact gradients through a robustness measure (asymptotic noise amplification), proves a Heisenberg-like trade-off — the product of speed and robustness is bounded below — and designs parameters on the resulting Pareto frontier, obtaining methods that retain acceleration while controlling noise amplification.
