contents Quantum symmetrization is the task of transforming a non-strictly increasing list of $n$ integers into an equal superposition of all permutations of the list (or more generally, performing this operation coherently on a superposition of such lists). This task plays a key role in initial state preparation for first-quantized simulations. Motivated by an application to fermionic systems, various algorithms have been proposed to solve a weaker version of symmetrization in which the input list is strictly increasing, but the general symmetrization problem with repetitions in the input list has not been well studied. We present the first efficient quantum algorithms for the general symmetrization problem. If $m$ is the greatest possible value of the input list, our first algorithm symmetrizes any single classical input list using $\tilde{O}(\log n)$ depth and $O(n\log n + \log m)$ ancilla qubits, and our second algorithm symmetrizes an arbitrary superposition of input lists using $\tilde{O}(\log^3 n)$ depth and $O(n\log n)$ ancilla qubits. Our algorithms enable efficient simulation of bosonic quantum systems in first quantization and can prepare (superpositions of) Dicke states of any Hamming weight in $\tilde{O}(\log n)$ depth (respectively, $\tilde{O}(\log^3 n)$ depth) using $O(n\log n)$ ancilla qubits. We also propose an $\tilde{O}(\log^3 n)$-depth quantum algorithm to transform second-quantized states to first-quantized states. Using this algorithm, QFT-based quantum telescope arrays can image brighter photon sources, extending quantum interferometric imaging systems to a new regime.
