Amplified Amplitude Estimation: Exploiting Prior Knowledge to Improve Estimates of Expectation Values

Sophia Simon, Matthias Degroote, Nikolaj Moll +3

We provide a method for estimating the expectation value of an operator that can utilize prior knowledge to accelerate the learning process on a quantum computer. Specifically, sup…
