Quantum Gibbs Sampling: the commuting case
Physical systems in nature very often are in thermal equilibrium. Statistical mechanics provides a microscopic theory justifying the relevance of thermal states of matter. However, fully understanding the ubiquity of this class of states from the laws of quantum theory remains an important topic in theoretical physics. The problem can be broken up into two sets of questions: (i) under what cond...
متن کاملAdaptive Gibbs samplers
We consider various versions of adaptive Gibbs and Metropoliswithin-Gibbs samplers, which update their selection probabilities (and perhaps also their proposal distributions) on the fly during a run, by learning as they go in an attempt to optimise the algorithm. We present a cautionary example of how even a simple-seeming adaptive Gibbs sampler may fail to converge. We then present various pos...
متن کاملQ Uantum G Ibbs Samplers : the Commuting Case
We analyze the problem of preparing quantum Gibbs states of lattice spin Hamiltonians with local and commuting terms on a quantum computer and in nature. Our central result is an equivalence between the behavior of correlations in the Gibbs state and the mixing time of the semigroup which drives the system to thermal equilibrium (the Gibbs sampler). We introduce a framework for analyzing the co...
متن کاملInformation bounds for Gibbs samplers
If we wish to eeciently estimate the expectation of an arbitrary function on the basis of the output of a Gibbs sampler, which is better: deterministic or random sweep? In each case we calculate the asymptotic variance of the empirical estimator, the average of the function over the output, and determine the minimal asymptotic variance for estimators that use no information about the underlying...
متن کاملGeometric Ergodicity of Gibbs Samplers
Due to a demand for reliable methods for exploring intractable probability distributions, the popularity of Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) techniques continues to grow. In any MCMC analysis, the convergence rate of the associated Markov chain is of practical and theoretical importance. A geometrically ergodic chain converges to its target distribution at a geometric rate. In this dissertation,...
