The quantum query complexity of elliptic PDE

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: The complexity of the following numerical problem is studied in the quantum model of computation: Consider a general elliptic partial differential equation of order 2m in a smooth, bounded domain Qsubset R^d with smooth coefficients and homogeneous boundary conditions. We seek to approximate the solution on a smooth submanifold Msubseteq Q of dimension 0le d_1 le d. With the right hand side belonging to C^r(Q), and the error being measured in the L_infty(M) norm, we prove that the n-th minimal quantum error is (up to logarithmic factors) of order n^{-min((r+2m)/d_1,r/d+1)}. For comparison, in the classical deterministic setting the n-th minimal error is known to be of order n^{-r/d}, for all d_1, while in the classical randomized setting it is (up to logarithmic factors) n^{-min((r+2m)/d_1,r/d+1/2)}.


For an elliptic partial differential equation (PDE) \(Lu = f\) on a bounded domain \(\Omega\) with homogeneous boundary conditions, suppose that one knows the Green's function \(k(x, y)\) such that \(u(x) = \int_\Omega f(y) k(x, y)\, dy\). The author obtains estimates of the complexity of computing such integrals using a Monte Carlo quadrature method on a quantum computer.
