Polynomial-time thermalization and Gibbs sampling from system-bath couplings
Samuel Slezak, Matteo Scandi, Ãlvaro M. Alhambra +2
Many physical phenomena, including thermalization in open quantum systems and quantum Gibbs sampling, are modeled by Lindbladians approximating a system weakly coupled to a bath. U…
Classical Simulation of High Temperature Quantum Ising Models
Elizabeth Crosson, Samuel Slezak
We consider generalized quantum Ising models, including those which could describe disordered materials or quantum annealers, and we prove that for all temperatures above a system-…
Quantum Approximate Counting with Additive Error: Hardness and Optimality
Mason L. Rhodes, Sam Slezak, Anirban Chowdhury +1
Quantum counting is the task of determining the dimension of the subspace of states that are accepted by a quantum verifier circuit. It is the quantum analog of counting the number…
Rapidly mixing loop representation quantum Monte Carlo for Heisenberg models on star-like bipartite graphs
Jun Takahashi, Sam Slezak, Elizabeth Crosson
Quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) methods have proven invaluable in condensed matter physics, particularly for studying ground states and thermal equilibrium properties of quantum Hamilton…
