Sampling from the Thermal Quantum Gibbs State and Evaluating Partition Functions with a Quantum Computer
We present a quantum algorithm to prepare the thermal Gibbs state of interacting quantum systems. This algorithm sets a universal upper bound D(alpha) on the thermalization time of a quantum system, where D is the system's Hilbert space dimension and alpha < or = 1/2 is proportional to the Helmholtz …
