Parametrized Complexity of Quantum Inspired Algorithms
share
Motivated by recent progress in quantum technologies and in particular quantum software, research and industrial communities have been trying to discover new applications of quantum algorithms such as quantum optimization and machine learning. Regardless of which hardware platform these novel algorithms operate on, whether it is adiabatic or gate based, from theoretical point of view, they are performing drastically better than their classical counterparts. Two promising areas of quantum algorithms quantum machine learning and quantum optimization. These are based on performing matrix operations using quantum states and operation, in order to speed up data analysis where quantum computing can efficiently work with high dimensional vectors. Motivated by that, quantum inspired algorithms (e.g. for recommendation systems and principal component analysis) are developed to cope with high dimensionality using probabilistic techniques that are inspire from quantum computing. In this paper we review recent progress in the area of quantum inspired algorithms for low rank matrix approximation. We further explore the possibility of using parametrized complexity for such algorithms to refine practical complexity analysis. Finally, we conjecture that quantum inspired algorithms that use low rank approximation and also sample and query technique for input representations are Fixed Parameter Tractable (FPT).
