• Abstract: Unknown unitary inversion is a fundamental primitive in quantum computing and physics. Although recent work has demonstrated that quantum algorithms can invert arbitrary unknown unitaries without accessing their classical descriptions, improving the efficiency of such protocols remains an open question. In this work, we present efficient quantum algorithms for inverting unitaries with specific Hamiltonian structures, achieving significant reductions in both ancilla qubit requirements and unitary query complexity. We identify cases where unitaries encoding exponentially many parameters can be inverted using only a single query. We further extend our framework to implement unitary complex conjugation and transposition operations, and develop modified protocols capable of inverting more general classes of Hamiltonians. We have also demonstrated the efficacy and robustness of our algorithms via numerical simulations under realistic noise conditions of superconducting quantum hardware. Our results establish more efficient protocols that improve the resources required for quantum unitary inversion when prior information about the quantum system is available, and provide practical methods for implementing these operations on near-term quantum devices.

  Given a quantum circuit containing d tunable RZ gates and G-d Clifford gates, can a learner perform purely classical inference to efficiently predict its linear properties? We prove that the sample complexity scaling linearly in d is necessary and sufficient to achieve a small prediction error, while the corresponding computational complexity may scale exponentially in d. We devise a kernel-based learning model capable of trading off prediction error and computational complexity, transitioning from exponential to scaling in many practical settings.
