The disclosure is in the technical field of circuit-model quantum computation. Generally, it concerns methods to use quantum computers to perform computations on classical spin models, where the classical spin models involve a number of spins that is exponential in the number of qubits that comprise the quantum computer. Examples of such computations include optimization and calculation of thermal properties, but extend to a wide variety of calculations that can be performed using the configuration of a spin model with an exponential number of spins. Spin models encompass optimization problems, physics simulations, and neural networks (there is a correspondence between a single spin and a single neuron). This disclosure has applications in these three areas as well as any other area in which a spin model can be used.
A method comprising:
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising stored instructions to determine a quantum circuit that, when executed by a quantum computer, prepares an n-qubit quantum state in the quantum computer, the quantum state |ψ being a superposition representing a configuration of I spins of a classical spin model,
A quantum circuit that, when executed by a quantum computer, prepares an n-qubit quantum state in the quantum computer, the quantum state |ψ being a superposition representing a configuration of I spins of a classical spin model,
