Abstract

In this paper we develop a classical algorithm of complexity O(K 2n) to simulate parametrized quantum circuits (PQCs) of n qubits, where K is the total number of one-qubit and two-qubit control gates. The algorithm is developed by finding 2-sparse unitary matrices of order 2n explicitly corresponding to any single-qubit and two-qubit control gates in an n-qubit system. Finally, we determine analytical expression of Hamiltonians for any such gate and consequently a local Hamiltonian decomposition of any PQC is obtained. All results are validated with numerical simulations.
