• Abstract: Simulating quantum imaginary-time evolution (QITE) is a major promise of quantum computation. However, the known algorithms are either probabilistic (repeat until success) with impractically small success probabilities or coherent (quantum amplitude amplification) but with circuit depths and ancillary-qubit numbers unrealistically large in the mid term. Our main contribution is a new generation of deterministic, high-precision QITE algorithms significantly more amenable experimentally. These are based on a surprisingly simple idea: partitioning the evolution into several fragments that are sequentially run probabilistically. This causes a huge reduction in wasted circuit depth every time a run fails. Indeed, the resulting overall runtime is asymptotically better than in coherent approaches and the hardware requirements even milder than in probabilistic ones, remarkably. More technically, we present two QITE-circuit sub-routines with excellent complexity scalings. One of them is optimal in ancillary-qubit overhead (one single ancillary qubit throughout) whereas the other one is optimal in runtime for small inverse temperature or high precision. The latter is shown by noting that the runtime saturates a cooling-speed limit that is the imaginary-time counterpart of the no fast-forwarding theorem of real-time simulations, which we prove. Moreover, we also make two technical contributions to the quantum signal processing formalism for operator-function synthesis (on which our sub-routines are based) that are useful beyond QITE. Our findings are specially relevant for the early fault-tolerance stages of quantum hardware.

  Quantum algorithms for quantum dynamics simulations are traditionally based on implementing a Trotter-approximation of the time-evolution operator. variational quantum algorithms have become an indispensable alternative, enabling small-scale simulations on present-day hardware. We show that, despite providing a clear reduction of quantum gate cost, the variational method in its current implementation is unlikely to lead to a quantum advantage.

  Decision Diagrams (DDs) have previously shown to reduce the required memory in many important cases by exploiting redundancies in the quantum state. We show that this reduction can be amplified by exploiting the probabilistic nature of quantum computers to achieve even more compact representations. Specifically, we propose two new DD-based simulation strategies that approximate the quantum states to attain more compact representations.
