Abstract

Quantum computing offers promising alternatives to classical approaches for solving complex linear algebra problems. This paper presents a comparative study of the performance of quantum algorithms versus classical algorithms in solving systems of linear equations and matrix operations. Through simulation and analysis, we demonstrate that while quantum computing holds advantages in specific problem sets, classical computing remains efficient for general applications. These findings highlight the current limitations and potential of quantum computing.

COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF CLASSICAL AND QUANTUM ALGORITHMS FOR SOLVING LINEAR SYSTEMS OF EQUATIONS: THEORETICAL INSIGHTS AND BENCHMARKING CHALLENGES

Journal of Theoretical and Applied Information Technology

Modern computers utilize a model based on a simple Turing machine concept. This study contains an extensive comparative review of classical and quantum algorithm approaches to solving a system of linear equations. The study details standard classical approaches like Gaussian Elimination or Conjugate Gradient Method and compares these with the algorithm of quantum theory algorithm HHL (Harrow-Hassidim-Lloyd). It considers the logic behind each of them, their benchmarks, scalability, implementation difficulties and practical use. Benchmarking results illustrate the fact that a classical approach continues to do especially good for small to moderate sized problems. However, quantum computation has the potential for an exponential speedup using algorithms like HHL in well-conditioned sparse matrices. The current limits of the hardware are discussed and future research directions needed to be able to utilize quantum computing for larger scale linear algebra problems are presented.

Optimal algorithms for linear algebra by quantum inspiration

Michael Ben-Or, Lior Eldar

Recent results by Harrow et. al. and by Ta-Shma, suggest that quantum computers may have an exponential advantage in solving a wealth of linear algebraic problems, over classical algorithms. Building on the quantum intuition of these results, we step back into the classical domain, and explore its usefulness in designing classical algorithms. We achieve an algorithm for solving the major linear-algebraic problems in time $O(n^{ω+ν})$ for any $ν>0$, where $ω$ is the optimal matrix-product constant. Thus our algorithm is optimal w.r.t. matrix multiplication, and comparable to the state-of-the-art algorithm for these problems due to Demmel et. al. Being derived from quantum intuition, our proposed algorithm is completely disjoint from all previous classical algorithms, and builds on a combination of low-discrepancy sequences and perturbation analysis. As such, we hope it motivates further exploration of quantum techniques in this respect, hopefully leading to improvements in our understanding of space complexity and numerical stability of these problems.

Can Quantum Computers Solve Linear Algebra Problems to Advance Engineering Applications?

Guanglei Xu, William S. Oates

Since its inception by Richard Feynman in 1982, quantum computing has provided an intriguing opportunity to advance computational capabilities over classical computing. Classical computers use bits to process information in terms of zeros and ones. Quantum computers use the complex world of quantum mechanics to carry out calculations using qubits (the quantum analog of a classical bit). The qubit can be in a superposition of the zero and one state simultaneously unlike a classical bit. The true power of quantum computing comes from the complexity of entanglement between many qubits. When entanglement is realized, quantum algorithms for problems such as factoring numbers and solving linear algebra problems show exponential speed-up relative to any known classical algorithm. Linear algebra problems are of particular interest in engineering application for solving problems that use finite element and finite difference methods. Here, we explore quantum linear algebra problems where we design and implement a quantum circuit that can be tested on IBM’s quantum computing hardware. A set of quantum gates are assimilated into a circuit and implemented on the IBM Q system to demonstrate its algorithm capabilities and its measurement methodology.
