Quantum Algorithm for Linear Systems of Equations
Open accessAbstract
Solving linear systems of equations is a common problem that arises both on its own and as a subroutine in more complex problems: given a matrix $A$ and a vector $\stackrel{\ensuremath{\rightarrow}}{b}$, find a vector $\stackrel{\ensuremath{\rightarrow}}{x}$ such that $A\stackrel{\ensuremath{\rightarrow}}{x}=\stackrel{\ensuremath{\rightarrow}}{b}$. We consider the case where one does not need to know the solution $\stackrel{\ensuremath{\rightarrow}}{x}$ itself, but rather an approximation of the expectation value of some operator associated with $\stackrel{\ensuremath{\rightarrow}}{x}$, e.g., ${\stackrel{\ensuremath{\rightarrow}}{x}}^{\ifmmode\dagger\else\textdagger\fi{}}M\stackrel{\ensuremath{\rightarrow}}{x}$ for some matrix $M$. In this case, when $A$ is sparse, $N\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}N$ and has condition number $\ensuremath{\kappa}$, the fastest known classical algorithms can find $\stackrel{\ensuremath{\rightarrow}}{x}$ and estimate ${\stackrel{\ensuremath{\rightarrow}}{x}}^{\ifmmode\dagger\else\textdagger\fi{}}M\stackrel{\ensuremath{\rightarrow}}{x}$ in time scaling roughly as $N\sqrt{\ensuremath{\kappa}}$. Here, we exhibit a quantum algorithm for estimating ${\stackrel{\ensuremath{\rightarrow}}{x}}^{\ifmmode\dagger\else\textdagger\fi{}}M\stackrel{\ensuremath{\rightarrow}}{x}$ whose runtime is a polynomial of $\mathrm{log}(N)$ and $\ensuremath{\kappa}$. Indeed, for small values of $\ensuremath{\kappa}$ [i.e., $\mathrm{poly}\mathrm{log}(N)$], we prove (using some common complexity-theoretic assumptions) that any classical algorithm for this problem generically requires exponentially more time than our quantum algorithm.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
