Briefings
A new quantum signal processing algorithm replaces Prony's method with logarithmic derivatives to factorize phase factors efficiently. The method achieves O(d log^2 d) complexity and computes phase factors in seconds with errors around 10^-12. This approach simplifies the factorization procedure for Hamiltonian simulation, eigenstate filtering, matrix inversion, and the Fermi-Dirac operator.
Key points
- The algorithm eliminates Prony's method by using the logarithmic derivative of an associated polynomial to recover unweighted power sums of roots.
- Newton-Girard identities recover polynomial coefficients without computing roots, achieving O(d log^2 d) computational complexity.
Context
Quantum signal processing requires efficient phase factor computation. The new method simplifies the factorization procedure for Hamiltonian simulation, eigenstate filtering, matrix inversion, and the Fermi-Dirac operator.
Limitations
Numerical experiments on specific quantum problems were conducted. Maximum errors are estimated at 10^-12. The source is a preprint (arXiv:2610.14259v1) with limited snapshot coverage of the full algorithm's performance across all quantum applications.
