Cayley access models for matrix functions: reachable class and cost
We study how to compute $f(A)b$ on a quantum computer, where $A$ is Hermitian. When $f$ is nonsmooth or has localized difficulty in the spectrum, classical numerical linear algebra approximates it with rational functions rather than polynomials. We propose the Cayley transform, parameterized by $\sigma \in \mathbb{R}$...
