Extreme Quantum Advantage for Rare-Event Sampling

C. Aghamohammadi, S. P. Loomis, J. R. Mahoney, J. P. Crutchfield

We introduce a quantum algorithm for efficient biased sampling of the rare events generated by classical memoryful stochastic processes. We show that this quantum algorithm gives an extreme advantage over known classical biased sampling algorithms in terms of the memory resources required. The quantum memory advantage ranges from polynomial to exponential and when sampling the rare equilibrium configurations of spin systems the quantum advantage diverges.
