No quantum speedup with Grover-Rudolph state preparation for quantum Monte Carlo integration

Abstract:
We prove that there is no quantum speedup when using quantum Monte Carlo integration to estimate the mean (and other moments) of analytically defined log-concave probability distributions prepared as quantum states using the Grover-Rudolph method.

Stability of Equilibrium Configuration
A stable equilibrium occurs when a system tends to return to its original position when given a small displacement, and the potential energy is at its minimum. An example of a stable equilibrium is when a cantilever beam is fixed at one end and a weight is attached to the other end. If the weight...
