• Title: On sampling determinantal and Pfaffian point processes on a quantum computer
• Authors: R\'emi Bardenet, Micha\"el Fanuel, Alexandre Feller
• Abstract summary: DPPs were introduced by Macchi as a model in quantum optics the 1970s. Most applications require sampling from a DPP, and given their quantum origin, it is natural to wonder whether sampling a DPP on a classical computer is easier than on a classical one. Vanilla sampling consists in two steps, of respective costs $mathcalO(N3)$ and $mathcalO(Nr2)$ operations on a classical computer, where $r$ is the rank of the kernel matrix.

• Abstract: DPPs were introduced by Macchi as a model in quantum optics the 1970s. Since then, they have been widely used as models and subsampling tools in statistics and computer science. Most applications require sampling from a DPP, and given their quantum origin, it is natural to wonder whether sampling a DPP on a quantum computer is easier than on a classical one. We focus here on DPPs over a finite state space, which are distributions over the subsets of $\{1,\dots,N\}$ parametrized by an $N\times N$ Hermitian kernel matrix. Vanilla sampling consists in two steps, of respective costs $\mathcal{O}(N^3)$ and $\mathcal{O}(Nr^2)$ operations on a classical computer, where $r$ is the rank of the kernel matrix. A large first part of the current paper consists in explaining why the state-of-the-art in quantum simulation of fermionic systems already yields quantum DPP sampling algorithms. We then modify existing quantum circuits, and discuss their insertion in a full DPP sampling pipeline that starts from practical kernel specifications. The bottom line is that, with $P$ (classical) parallel processors, we can divide the preprocessing cost by $P$ and build a quantum circuit with $\mathcal{O}(Nr)$ gates that sample a given DPP, with depth varying from $\mathcal{O}(N)$ to $\mathcal{O}(r\log N)$ depending on qubit-communication constraints on the target machine. We also connect existing work on the simulation of superconductors to Pfaffian point processes, which generalize DPPs and would be a natural addition to the machine learner's toolbox. In particular, we describe "projective" Pfaffian point processes, the cardinality of which has constant parity, almost surely. Finally, the circuits are empirically validated on a classical simulator and on 5-qubit IBM machines.

  We study the power of unentangled quantum proofs with non-negative amplitudes, a class which we denote $textQMA+(2)$. In particular, we design global protocols for small set expansion, unique games, and PCP verification. We show that QMA(2) is equal to $textQMA+(2)$ provided the gap of the latter is a sufficiently large constant.

  Discrete Determinantal Point Processes (DPPs) have a wide array of potential applications for subsampling datasets. In the worst-case scenario, the sampling cost scales as $O(n3)$ where n is the number of elements of the ground set. A popular workaround to this prohibitive cost is to sample DPPs defined by low-rank kernels.
