An Improved Method for Quantum Matrix Multiplication

Abstract
Following the celebrated quantum algorithm for solving linear equations (so-called HHL algorithm), Childs, Kothari and Somma [SIAM Journal on Computing, {\bf 46}: 1920, (2017)] provided an approach to solve a linear system of equations with exponentially improved dependence on precision. In this note, we aim to complement such a result for applying a matrix to some quantum state, based upon their Chebyshev polynomial approach. A few examples that motivate this application are included and we further discuss an application of this improved matrix application algorithm explicitly with an efficient quantum procedure.
