The gate cost of the proposed method is considered and compared to a state preparation routine for arbitrary amplitudes, where we demonstrate up to a four orders of magnitude reduction in gate cost when considering the encoding of gravitational waveforms representative of binary neutron star inspirals detectable to the Einstein telescope. We demonstrate through a quantum simulation, that is limited to 28 qubits, the encoding of a second post-Newtonian inspiral waveform with a fidelity compared to the desired state of 0.995 when using the Grover-Rudolph algorithm, or 0.979 when using a trained quantum generative adversarial network with a significant reduction of required gates.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2306.11073v1","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2306.11073v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"links_only","authors_date_abstract":"arXiv metadata, CC0 1.0 (https://info.arxiv.org/help/license), from the Kaggle arXiv metadata snapshot of 2026-09-12"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"quantum-state-preparation-of-gravitational","repo_url":"https://github.com/fergus-hayes/quantum_state_preparation_of_gravitational_waves","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"pytorch","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"syntology_url":null,"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
