Abstract

It has been shown that the Metropolis algorithm can be implemented on quantum computers in a way that avoids the sign problem. However, flat histogram techniques are often preferred as they don't suffer from the same limitations that afflict Metropolis for problems of real-world interest and provide a host of other benefits. In particular, the Wang-Landau method is known for its efficiency and accuracy. In this work we design, implement, and validate a quantum algorithm for Wang-Landau sampling, greatly expanding the range of quantum many body problems solvable by Monte Carlo simulation.
