QUANTUM RESOURCE ESTIMATION USING A RE-PARAMETERIZATION METHOD

Abstract:

Systems, computer-implemented methods, and computer program products to facilitate estimation of quantum resources to calculate an expectation value of a stochastic process using a re-parameterization method are provided. According to an embodiment, a system can comprise a processor that executes computer executable components stored in memory. The computer executable components can comprise a re-parameterization component that applies a quantum fault-tolerant operation to a variationally prepared quantum state corresponding to a probability distribution to produce a quantum state corresponding to a target probability distribution. The computer executable components can further comprise an estimation component that estimates at least one defined criterion of a quantum computer to be used to compute an expectation value of a stochastic process associated with the target probability distribution.
