abstract

The polar decomposition for a matrix $A$ is $A=UB$, where $B$ is a positive Hermitian matrix and $U$ is unitary (or, if $A$ is not square, an isometry). This paper shows that the ability to apply a Hamiltonian $\pmatrix{ 0 & A^\dagger \cr A & 0 \cr} $ translates into the ability to perform the transformations $e^{-iBt}$ and $U$ in a deterministic fashion. We show how to use the quantum polar decomposition algorithm to solve the quantum Procrustes problem, to perform pretty good measurements, to find the positive Hamiltonian closest to any Hamiltonian, and to perform a Hamiltonian version of the quantum singular value transformation.

  1. Quantum Spectral Model: Data Reuploading with Input-Conditioned Frequency Support

    quant-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Quantum Spectral Models encode each matrix input as a Hamiltonian, letting sample-dependent spectral gaps act as tunable Fourier carriers, and lead mean test accuracy on four benchmarks at depth 32.
