Summary:
To achieve exponential speed-up with the Harrow-Hassidim-Lloyd (HHL) quantum algorithm, the condition number of the matrix can scale at most poly-logarithmically with its size. This quantum algorithm significantly outperforms the best classical methods for solving well-conditioned linear systems of equations. However, well-conditioning is a stringent requirement that severely limits the range of problems benefiting from exponential speed-up. In this paper, we introduce a regularization method that combines the HHL quantum algorithm with the Levenberg-Marquardt method to mitigate ill-conditioning and enable exponential speed-up. Specifically, the Levenberg-Marquardt method acts as a regularization method, transforming an ill-conditioned linear system of equations into a sequence of well-conditioned linear systems of equations. The HHL quantum algorithm is then applied to solve these systems efficiently. This approach effectively addresses the ill-conditioning issue while preserving the exponential speed-up advantage.
