Quantum algorithm for finding the negative curvature direction in non-convex optimization
We present an efficient quantum algorithm aiming to find the negative curvature direction for escaping the saddle point, which is the critical subroutine for many second-order non-convex optimization algorithms. We prove that our algorithm could produce the target state corresponding to the negative curvature direction with query complexity O(polylog(d) /{\epsilon}), where d is the dimension of the optimization function. The quantum negative curvature finding algorithm is exponentially faster than any known classical method which takes time at least O(d /\sqrt{\epsilon}). Moreover, we propose an efficient quantum algorithm to achieve the classical read-out of the target state. Our classical read-out algorithm runs exponentially faster on the degree of d than existing counterparts.
