abstract

We give a quantum algorithm for solving semidefinite programs (SDPs). It has worst-case running time $n^{\frac{1}{2}} m^{\frac{1}{2}} s^2 \text{poly}(\log(n), \log(m), R, r, 1/\delta)$, with $n$ and $s$ the dimension and row-sparsity of the input matrices, respectively, $m$ the number of constraints, $\delta$ the accuracy of the solution, and $R, r$ a upper bounds on the size of the optimal primal and dual solutions. This gives a square-root unconditional speed-up over any classical method for solving SDPs both in $n$ and $m$. We prove the algorithm cannot be substantially improved (in terms of $n$ and $m$) giving a $\Omega(n^{\frac{1}{2}}+m^{\frac{1}{2}})$ quantum lower bound for solving semidefinite programs with constant $s, R, r$ and $\delta$. The quantum algorithm is constructed by a combination of quantum Gibbs sampling and the multiplicative weight method. In particular it is based on a classical algorithm of Arora and Kale for approximately solving SDPs. We present a modification of their algorithm to eliminate the need for solving an inner linear program which may be of independent interest.
