Quantum simulation by qubitization without Toffoli gates

ORAL

Abstract

Qubitization is a modern approach to estimate Hamiltonian eigenvalues without simulating its time evolution. While in this way approximation errors are avoided, its resource and gate requirements are more extensive: qubitization requires additional qubits to store information about the Hamiltonian, and Toffoli gates to probe them throughout the routine. Recently, it was shown that storing the Hamitlonian in a unary representation can alleviate the need for such gates in one of the qubitization subroutines. Building on that principle, we develop an entirely new decomposition of the entire algorithm: without Toffoli gates, we can encode the Hamiltonian into qubits within logarithmic depth.
