• Abstract: We present a quantum algorithm to compute the discrete Legendre-Fenchel transform. Given access to a convex function evaluated at $N$ points, the algorithm outputs a quantum-mechanical representation of its corresponding discrete Legendre-Fenchel transform evaluated at $K$ points in the transformed space. For a fixed regular discretization of the dual space the expected running time scales as $O(\sqrt{\kappa}\,\mathrm{polylog}(N,K))$, where $\kappa$ is the condition number of the function. If the discretization of the dual space is chosen adaptively with $K$ equal to $N$, the running time reduces to $O(\mathrm{polylog}(N))$. We explain how to extend the presented algorithm to the multivariate setting and prove lower bounds for the query complexity, showing that our quantum algorithm is optimal up to polylogarithmic factors. For multivariate functions with $\kappa=1$, the quantum algorithm computes a quantum-mechanical representation of the Legendre-Fenchel transform at $K$ points exponentially faster than any classical algorithm can compute it at a single point.

  Quantum signal processing (QSP) provides a systematic framework for implementing a transformation of a linear operator. Recent works have developed randomized compiling, a technique that promotes a unitary gate to a quantum channel. Our algorithm implements a probabilistic mixture of randomizeds, strategically chosen so that the average evolution converges to that of a target function, with an error quadratically smaller than that of an equivalent individual.

  We present a novel quantum high-dimensional linear regression algorithm based on the classical LARS (Least Angle Regression) pathwise algorithm. Our quantum algorithm provides the full regularisation path as the penalty term varies, but quadratically faster per iteration under specific conditions. We prove, via an approximate version of the KKT conditions and a duality gap, that the LARS algorithm is robust to errors.
