• Title: Quantum Wave Function Collapse for Procedural Content Generation
• Authors: Raoul Heese,
• Abstract summary: Quantum computers exhibit an inherent randomness, so it seems natural to consider them for procedural content generation. This quantum wave function collapse algorithm is based on the idea that a quantum circuit can be prepared in such a way that it acts as a special-purpose random generator for content of a desired form.

• Abstract: Quantum computers exhibit an inherent randomness, so it seems natural to consider them for procedural content generation. In this work, a quantum version of the famous (classical) wave function collapse algorithm is proposed. This quantum wave function collapse algorithm is based on the idea that a quantum circuit can be prepared in such a way that it acts as a special-purpose random generator for content of a desired form. The proposed method is presented theoretically and investigated experimentally on simulators and IBM Quantum devices.

  quantum mechanics offers some advantages for generation and manipulation of randomness. Bernoulli factories are protocols capable of changing the bias of Bernoulli random processes in a controlled way. Recent extensions of this model to the quantum case showed the possibility of implementing a wider class of randomness manipulation functions. We propose a Bernoulli factory scheme with quantum states as input and output, using a photonic path-encoding approach.

  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 find that the quantum simulator results can indeed be explained by the KZM for open-system quantum dynamics with phase-flip errors. This implies that the theoretical predictions of the generalized KZM theory, which assumes isolation from the environment, applies beyond its original scope to an open system.
