Example circuit implementations of Szegedy's quantization of the Metropolis-Hastings walk are presented. In certain disclosed embodiments, a quantum walk procedure of a Markov chain Monte Carlo simulation is implemented in which a quantum move register is reset at every step in the quantum walk. In further embodiments, a quantum walk procedure of a Markov chain Monte Carlo simulation is implemented in which an underlying classical walk is obtained using a Metropolis-Hastings rotation or a Glauber dynamics rotation. In some embodiments, a quantum walk procedure is performed in the quantum computing device to implement a Markov Chain Monte Carlo method; during the quantum walk procedure, an intermediate measurement is obtained; and a rewinding procedure of one or more but not all steps of the quantum walk procedure is performed if the intermediate measurement produces an incorrect outcome.
