Matrix Product Operators In The Age of Block Encoding (opens in new tab)

We develop a block-encoding compiler that speeds up linear combination of unitaries Hamiltonian simulation programs by treating matrix product operators as compressed, virtual-path LCU programs. In showing how these new conditional PREP and SELECT stages are compiled in terms of a parent matrix product operator, we go beyond typical operator splitting product formulas and illustrate how tensor networks are a natural language and valid intermedia...
