Simulating the time-evolution of quantum mechanical systems is BQP-hard and expected to be one of the foremost applications of quantum computers. We consider classical algorithms for the approximation of Hamiltonian dynamics using subsampling methods from randomized numerical linear algebra. We derive a simulation technique whose runtime scales polynomially in the number of qubits and the Frobenius norm of the Hamiltonian. As an immediate application, we show that sample based quantum…

With this model, classical analogues to Lloyd, Mohseni, and Rebentrost’s quantum algorithms for principal component analysis and nearest-centroid clustering are described and it is suggested that the exponential speedups of their quantum counterparts are simply an artifact of state preparation assumptions.

This work develops classical algorithms for SVT that run in time independent of input dimension, under suitable quantum-inspired sampling assumptions, and gives compelling evidence that in the corresponding QRAM data structure input model, quantum SVT does not yield exponential quantum speedups.
Small quantum computers and large classical data sets
This work introduces hybrid classical-quantum algorithms for problems involving a large classical data set X and a space of models Y such that a quantum computer has superposition access to Y but not X that yields quantum speedups for maximum likelihood estimation, Bayesian inference and saddle-point optimization.
