Quantum computers can do this simulation exponentially more efficiently. 3. Maybe they can do other things more efficiently too?

33 standard part of QMC 1. Use local moves (Glauber or Metropolis) to generate samples from π(z 1,..., z L ). Run-time/accuracy tradeoff unknown in general. 2. Use sampling-to-counting equivalence to estimate Z or O =tr[o e -βh ]/Z. Problem reduces to bounding mixing time (equiv. gap) of a classical Markov chain.
34 n The Markov chain m jump z 2 z weight(z) = exp(-β(f(z 1 ) f(z L )) / m) (βγ/m)# vertical jumps rapidly mixing?
35 the path measure random walk z 1,...,z m on hypercube {0,1} n conditioned to return (z m+1 = z 1 ) alternatively can use open boundary conditions. typically βγn total jumps [see also JSIBMTN ] Suppose that f(z) depends only on Hamming weight z. look only at Hamming weight: {0,1} n -> {0,1,,n}. take n-> and {0,1,,n} à [0,1]. Brownian motion, or with closed B.C., Brownian bridge with local Z fields -> Brownian motion with drift Ornstein-Uhlenbeck bridge dx(t) = θ(μ-x(t)) dt + σ db(t) θ = drift, μ = mean, σ = diffusion imaginary time Hamming weight
36 local times of Brownian motion Local time: L x (t) = amount of time Brownian motion B(t) spends at point x. Lévy s theorem: {L 0 (t): t 0} and {S(t): t 0} have the same distribution, where S(t) = sup 0 s t B(s). In fact, (S-B, S) = d ( B, L 0 ) Additionally, S = d B.
37 local times of Brownian motion Local time: L x (t) = amount of time Brownian motion B([0,t]) spends at point x. Lévy s theorem: (S-B, S) = d ( B, L 0 ) Proof: consider discrete r walk: W(k) = X(1) X(k) with X(t) = ±1. Let M(k) = max(w(0),..., W(k)) W (t) M(t) Y(t) = M(t)-W(t) d W(t) t Y (t) =M(t) M = # of times M-W remains at 0 d L 0 W (t) t figure adapted from Brownian Motion by Mörters and Peres.

39 QMC and tunnelling spike (width n a, height nb ) imaginary time ST = normalized spike time d N(0, n a-1/2 ) proof using either Lévy s thm or quantum-classical correspondence Hamming weight Feynman-Kac thm: Pr[path spike] = exp(-βst n b ) Pr[path no spike] à if a+b<1/2 then typical paths don t notice the spike.

TFAE: P has a 1/poly(n) gap between the top two eigenvalues The conductance Φ is 1/poly(n). Φ = min S Q(S, S c ) / π(s) π(s c ) conductance For any x,y there exists a path γ xy from x -> y routing π(x) π(y) units of flow such that each edge e has load poly(n) Q(e).
