• Abstract: The gradient descent method aims at finding local minima of a given multivariate function by moving along the direction of its gradient, and hence, the algorithm typically involves computing all partial derivatives of a given function, before updating the solution iteratively. In the work of Rebentrost et al. [New Journal of Physics, 21(7):073023, 2019], the authors translated the iterative optimization algorithm into a quantum setting, with some assumptions regarding certain structure of the given function, with oracle or black-box access to some matrix that specifies the structure. Here, we develop an alternative quantum framework for the gradient descent problem. By leveraging the seminal quantum singular value transformation framework, we are able to construct a quantum gradient descent algorithm with a running time logarithmical in the number of variables. In particular, our method can work with a broader class of functions and remove the requirement for any coherent oracle access. Furthermore, our framework also consumes exponentially less qubits than the prior quantum algorithm. Thus, our framework adds more element to the existing literature, demonstrating the surprising flexible power of quantum singular value transformation, showing further potential direction to explore the capability of quantum singular value transformation, and quantum computational advantage as a whole.

  The architecture of circuital quantum computers requires layers devoted to compiling high-level quantum algorithms into lower-level circuits of quantum gates. The general problem of quantum compiling is to approximate any unitary transformation that describes the quantum computation, as a sequence of elements selected from a finite base of universal quantum gates. We exploit the deep reinforcement learning method as an alternative strategy, which has a significantly different trade-off between search time and exploitation time.
