Abstract

Fluctuation theorems provide a correspondence between properties of quantum systems in thermal equilibrium and a work distribution arising in a non-equilibrium process that connects two quantum systems with Hamiltonians $H_0$ and $H_1=H_0+V$. Building upon these theorems, we present a quantum algorithm to prepare a purification of the thermal state of $H_1$ at inverse temperature $beta ge 0$ starting from a purification of the thermal state of $H_0$. The complexity of the quantum algorithm, given by the number of uses of certain unitaries, is $tilde {cal O}(e^{beta (Delta ! A- w_l)/2})$, where $Delta ! A$ is the free-energy difference between $H_1$ and $H_0,$ and $w_l$ is a work cutoff that depends on the properties of the work distribution and the approximation error $epsilongt0$. If the non-equilibrium process is trivial, this complexity is exponential in $beta |V|$, where $|V|$ is the spectral norm of $V$. This represents a significant improvement of prior quantum algorithms that have complexity exponential in $beta |H_1|$ in the regime where $|V|ll |H_1|$. The dependence of the complexity in $epsilon$ varies according to the structure of the quantum systems. It can be exponential in $1/epsilon$ in general, but we show it to be sublinear in $1/epsilon$ if $H_0$ and $H_1$ commute, or polynomial in $1/epsilon$ if $H_0$ and $H_1$ are local spin systems. The possibility of applying a unitary that drives the system out of equilibrium allows one to increase the value of $w_l$ and improve the complexity even further. To this end, we analyze the complexity for preparing the thermal state of the transverse field Ising model using different non-equilibrium unitary processes and see significant complexity improvements.

[95] A method to implement such unitaries that uses the technique of spectral gap amplification is described in Ref. SB13. It requires $H_0$ and $H_1$ to be presented in a particular form such as linear combination of unitaries or linear combinations of projectors.
