This research introduces unitary protocols that utilize multiple qubit copies to efficiently prepare low-energy states via controlled-SWAP operations, addressing a fundamental bottleneck in quantum simulation. By demonstrating polynomial-in-depth convergence through hybrid analog-digital circuits and mid-circuit post-selection, the study offers scalable pathways for refining initial state preparation without relying on non-unitary imaginary-time evolution. These advances represent a significant step toward more resource-efficient quantum algorithms and simulations.

Multiple qubit copies speed up quantum state preparation

Quantum ZeitgeistSeptember 2, 20265 min read

Unitary protocols using copies of qubits approximate imaginary-time evolution, efficiently preparing low-energy states for quantum simulation.

Tal Schwartzman of ITAMP, Center for Astrophysics | Harvard & Smithsonian, and colleagues have devised new unitary protocols for preparing ground states in quantum systems by leveraging multiple copies of the system alongside controlled-SWAP operations. Their work addresses a key challenge in quantum computation: efficiently achieving low-energy state preparation, a goal crucial for both simulation and computation. The researchers detail two circuit designs, one offering provable polynomial-in-depth convergence but rapidly growing width, and a more scalable "hedge" architecture, and demonstrate that mid-circuit post-selection can accelerate the process with achievable probabilities. This approach outlines how hybrid analog-digital circuits can complement existing state-preparation methods in…
