Description
Summary:Solving linear systems of equations is one of the most common and basic problems in classical identification systems. Given a coefficient matrix A and a vector b, the ultimate task is to find the solution x such that Ax=b. Based on the technique of the singular value estimation, the paper proposes a modified quantum scheme to obtain the quantum state |x⟩ corresponding to the solution of the linear system of equations in O(κ2rpolylog(mn)/ϵ) time for a general m×n dimensional A, which is superior to existing quantum algorithms, where κ is the condition number, r is the rank of matrix A and ϵ is the precision parameter. Meanwhile, we also design a quantum circuit for the homogeneous linear equations and achieve an exponential improvement. The coefficient matrix A in our scheme is a sparsity-independent and non-square matrix, which can be applied in more general situations. Our research provides a universal quantum linear system solver and can enrich the research scope of quantum computation.
