Quantum Replica Exchange
Zherui Chen, Joao Basso, Zhiyan Ding +1
The presence of energy barriers in the state space of a physical system can lead to exponentially slow convergence for sampling algorithms like Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC). In…
Quantum Filtering and Analysis of Multiplicities in Eigenvalue Spectra
Zhiyan Ding, Lin Lin, Yilun Yang +1
Fine-grained spectral properties of quantum Hamiltonians, including both eigenvalues and their multiplicities, provide useful information for characterizing many-body quantum syste…
Operator-Level Quantum Acceleration of Non-Logconcave Sampling
Jiaqi Leng, Zhiyan Ding, Zherui Chen +1
Sampling from probability distributions of the form , where is a continuous potential, is a fundamental task across physics, chemistry, biology, computer scie…
Polynomial-Time Preparation of Low-Temperature Gibbs States for 2D Toric Code
Zhiyan Ding, Zeph Landau, Bowen Li +2
We propose a polynomial-time algorithm for preparing the Gibbs state of the two-dimensional toric code Hamiltonian at any temperature, starting from any initial condition, signific…
