Abstract
Full-counting statistics (FCS) provides a powerful framework to access the statistical information of a system from the characteristic function. However, applications of FCS for generic interacting quantum systems often be hindered by the intrinsic difficulty of classical simulation of quantum many-body problems. Here, we propose a quantum algorithm for FCS that can obtain both the particle distribution and cumulants of interacting systems. The algorithm evaluates the characteristic functions by quantum computing and then extracts the distribution and cumulants with classical post-processing. With digital signal processing theory, we analyze the dependency of accuracy with the number of sampling points for the characteristic functions. We show that the desired number of sampling points for accurate FCS can be reduced by filtering some components of the quantum state that are not of interest. By numeral simulation, we demonstrate FCS of domain walls for the mixed Ising model. The algorithm suggests an avenue for studying full-counting statistics on quantum computers.
