Abstract
We propose a quantum algorithm for projecting a quantum system to eigenstates of any Hermitian operator, provided one can access the associated control-unitary evolution for the ancilla and the system, as well as the measurement of the controlling ancillary qubit. Such a Hadamard-test like primitive is iterated so as to achieve the spectral projection, and the distribution of the projected eigenstates obeys the Born rule. This algorithm can be used as a subroutine in the quantum annealing procedure by measurement to drive the system to the ground state of a final Hamiltonian, and we simulate this for quantum many-body spin chains.
