PHYSICAL REVIEW RESEARCH.
Ground state preparation is an important task in quantum computation. The probabilistic imaginary-time evolution (PITE®️) method is a promising candidate for the ground state preparation of the Hamiltonian, which consists of a single ancilla qubit and forward and backward controlled real-time evolution operators. Ground state preparation is a challenging task even in quantum computation, classified as quantum Merlin-Arthur complexity class. However, optimal parameters for PITE®️ could potentially improve the computational efficiency to some extent. In this paper, we analyse the computational cost of the PITE®️ method for both linear and exponential scheduling of the imaginary time step size to reduce the computational cost.
The results of this work can make a significant contribution to the field of ground state preparation of many-body Hamiltonians on quantum computers.
In order to allow academic researchers to experience the excellence of Quemix's PITE®️, we have decided to offer SimPITE for academic research purposes for free.
We are also looking for academic researchers interested in collaborative development of PITE®️.
