Abstract

En 中文
How to efficiently encode classical data is a fundamental task in quantum computing. While many existing works treat classical data encoding as a black box in oracle-based quantum algorithms, their explicit constructions are crucial for the efficiency of practical algorithm implementations. Here, we unveil the mystery of the classical data encoding black box and study the Clifford + T complexity in constructing several typical quantum access models. For general matrices (even including sparse ones), we prove that sparse-access input models and block-encoding both require nearly linear circuit complexities relative to the matrix dimension. We also give construction protocols achieving near-optimal gate complexities. On the other hand, the construction becomes efficient with respect to the data qubit when the matrix is a linear combination of polynomial terms of efficiently implementable unitaries. As a typical example, we propose improved block-encoding when these unitaries are Pauli strings. Our protocols are built upon improved quantum state preparation and a select oracle for Pauli strings, which hold independent values. Our access model constructions provide considerable flexibility, allowing for tunable ancillary qubit numbers and offering corresponding space-time trade-offs.
