Double sparse quantum state preparation

Abstract

Initializing classical data in a quantum device is an essential step in many quantum algorithms. As a consequence of measurement and noisy operations, some algorithms need to reinitialize the prepared state several times during its execution. In this work, we propose a quantum state preparation algorithm called CVO-QRAM with computational cost O(kM), where M is the number of nonzero probability amplitudes and $k$ is the maximum number of bits with value 1 in the patterns to be stored. The proposed algorithm can be an alternative to create sparse states in future NISQ devices.
