• Abstract: In adiabatic quantum computing the aim is to track an eigenstate as the Hamiltonian changes. In the usual setup this is achieved using the natural time-dependent Hamiltonian evolution of the system and the main technical tool is the adiabatic theorem. We propose several alternative processes that achieve the same goal, but can easily be implemented on a gate-based quantum computer without the overhead of simulating time-dependent Hamiltonian evolution. We give a general framework for deriving `adiabatic' theorems for these processes. As an application, we give various algorithms for solving the Quantum Linear Systems Problem (QLSP) with optimal scaling in the condition number. One of these algorithms was previously developed in [Cunningham, Roland 2024] and another can be seen as a randomised version of the discrete adiabatic algorithm of [Costa et al. 2022]. We also describe versions of Trotterisation in our framework, which allows several results from [An et al. 2025] to be reproduced in a randomised setting. In particular, bounds on the Trotter error in terms of the fidelity are obtained that are asymptotically better than the standard bounds.

  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.
