We study the practical performance of quantum-inspired algorithms for recommendation systems and linear systems of equations. These algorithms were shown to have an exponential asymptotic speedup compared to previously known classical methods for problems involving low-rank matrices, but with complexity bounds that exhibit a hefty polynomial overhead compared to quantum algorithms. This raised the question of whether these methods were actually useful in practice. We conduct a theoretical… Expand

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.
