The spectral density operator $hat{rho}(omega)=delta(omega-hat{H})$ plays a central role in linear response theory as its expectation value, the dynamical response function, can be used to compute scattering cross-sections. In this work, we describe a near optimal quantum algorithm providing an approximation to the spectral density with energy resolution $Delta$ and error $epsilon$ using $mathcal{O}left(sqrt{logleft(1/epsilonright)left(logleft(1/Deltaright)+logleft(1/epsilonright)right)}/Deltaright)$ operations. This is achieved without using expensive approximations to the time-evolution operator but exploiting instead qubitization to implement an approximate Gaussian Integral Transform (GIT) of the spectral density. We also describe appropriate error metrics to assess the quality of spectral function approximations more generally.
We study quantum anomaly detection with density estimation and multivariate Gaussian distribution. Both algorithms are constructed using the standard gate-based model of quantum computing. Compared with the corresponding classical algorithms, the resource complexities of our quantum algorithm are logarithmic in the dimensionality of quantum states and the number of training quantum states. We also present a quantum procedure for efficiently estimating the determinant of any Hermitian operators $mathcal{A}inmathcal{R}^{Ntimes N}$ with time complexity $O(polylog N)$ which forms an important subroutine in our quantum anomaly detection with multivariate Gaussian distribution. Finally, our results also include the modified quantum kernel principal component analysis (PCA) and the quantum one-class support vector machine (SVM) for detecting classical data.
We investigate an algorithm named histogram transform ensembles (HTE) density estimator whose effectiveness is supported by both solid theoretical analysis and significant experimental performance. On the theoretical side, by decomposing the error term into approximation error and estimation error, we are able to conduct the following analysis: First of all, we establish the universal consistency under $L_1(mu)$-norm. Secondly, under the assumption that the underlying density function resides in the H{o}lder space $C^{0,alpha}$, we prove almost optimal convergence rates for both single and ensemble density estimators under $L_1(mu)$-norm and $L_{infty}(mu)$-norm for different tail distributions, whereas in contrast, for its subspace $C^{1,alpha}$ consisting of smoother functions, almost optimal convergence rates can only be established for the ensembles and the lower bound of the single estimators illustrates the benefits of ensembles over single density estimators. In the experiments, we first carry out simulations to illustrate that histogram transform ensembles surpass single histogram transforms, which offers powerful evidence to support the theoretical results in the space $C^{1,alpha}$. Moreover, to further exert the experimental performances, we propose an adaptive version of HTE and study the parameters by generating several synthetic datasets with diversities in dimensions and distributions. Last but not least, real data experiments with other state-of-the-art density estimators demonstrate the accuracy of the adaptive HTE algorithm.
The resolvent of supersymmetric Dirac Hamiltonian is studied in detail. Due to supersymmetry the squared Dirac Hamiltonian becomes block-diagonal whose elements are in essence non-relativistic Schrodinger-type Hamiltonians. This enables us to find a Feynman-type path-integral representation of the resulting Greens functions. In addition, we are also able to express the spectral properties of the supersymmetric Dirac Hamiltonian in terms of those of the non-relativistic Schrodinger Hamiltonians. The methods are explicitly applied to the free Dirac Hamiltonian, the so-called Dirac oscillator and a generalization of it. The general approach is applicable to systems with good and broken supersymmetry.
A brief outline of the Lorentz Integral Transform (LIT) method is given. The method is well established and allows to treat reactions into the many-body continuum with bound-state like techniques. The energy resolution that can be achieved is studied by means of a simple two-body reaction. From the discussion it will become clear that the LIT method is an approach with a controlled resolution and that there is no principle problem to even resolve narrow resonances in the many-body continuum. As an example the isoscalar monopole resonance of 4He is considered. The importance of the choice of a proper basis for the expansion of the LIT states is pointed out. Employing such a basis a width of 180(70) keV is found for the 4He isoscalar monopole resonance when using a simple central nucleon-nucleon potential model.
We investigate the quantum Cramer-Rao bounds on the joint multiple-parameter estimation with the Gaussian state as a probe. We derive the explicit right logarithmic derivative and symmetric logarithmic derivative operators in such a situation. We compute the corresponding quantum Fisher information matrices, and find that they can be fully expressed in terms of the mean displacement and covariance matrix of the Gaussian state. Finally, we give some examples to show the utility of our analytical results.
