From Symmetric Toeplitz Hamiltonians to Quantum Circuits

This work introduces a quantum circuit synthesis framework for simulating the unitary time evolution under a subclass of symmetric Toeplitz Hamiltonians by decomposing them into specific diagonal matrices $M_k$. These matrices are then classified, to achieve significant simplification, into, $M_k$ when $k$ is a power of two, and congruence classes with constant coefficients. Finally, we construct the explicit quantum circuit for the one-dimensional discrete Poisson equation. This research was conducted under the supervision of Benoit Valiron during a Master’s internship.
