Transition amplitudes and transition probabilities are relevant to many areas of physics simulation, including the calculation of response properties and correlation functions. These quantities are also closely related to solving linear systems of equations in quantum linear algebra. Here we present three related algorithms for calculating transition probabilities with respect to arbitrary operators and states. First, we extend a previously published short-depth algorithm, allowing for the two…
