Efficient quantum Gibbs sampling of stabilizer codes using hybrid computation
- 1University of Cambridge
Abstract
We present hybrid Gibbs sampling algorithms for the stabilizer code Hamiltonians of the rotated surface code and the toric code with only local quantum algorithms, using ∼ L/2 quantum circuit depth to prepare the Gibbs state of the rotated surface code Hamiltonian, and L quantum circuit depth to prepare the Gibbs state of the toric code Hamiltonian, being L the side of the side of the square lattice. We further show that if we allow for non-local gates, the Gibbs state of the periodic 1D Ising model can be prepared in logarithmic depth and linearly many simultaneous measurements.
