- Abstract: We reformulate quantum computation in terms of Lagrangian (sum-over-path)
formalism, in contrast to the widely used Hamiltonian (unitary gate)
formulation. We exemplify this formalism with some widely-studied models,
including the standard quantum circuit model, quantum optimization heuristics,
and quantum random walks. The meanings of Lagrangian (action) are interpreted
in various contexts of quantum computation, such as complexity analysis.
Furthermore, an analog quantum simulation scheme is suggested where the
Lagrangian serves as the starting point and the sum-over-path method is
applied.

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.

We introduce a quantum version for the statistical complexity measure, in the context of quantum information theory, and use it as a signalling function of quantum order-disorder transitions.
We apply our measure to two exactly solvable Hamiltonian models, namely: the $1D$-Quantum Ising Model and the Heisenberg XXZ spin-$1/2$ chain.
We also compute this measure for one-qubit and two-qubit reduced states for the considered models, and analyse its behaviour across its quantum phase transitions for finite system sizes as well as in the thermodynamic limit by using Bethe ansatz.
