contents Quantum sampling, a fundamental subroutine in numerous quantum algorithms, involves encoding a given probability distribution in the amplitudes of a pure state. Given the hefty cost of large-scale quantum storage, we initiate the study of quantum sampling in a distributed setting. Specifically, we assume that the data is distributed among multiple machines, and each machine solely maintains a basic oracle that counts the multiplicity of individual elements. Given a quantum sampling task, which is to sample from the joint database, a coordinator can make oracle queries to all machines. We focus on the oblivious communication model, where communications between the coordinator and the machines are predetermined. We present both sequential and parallel algorithms: the sequential algorithm queries the machines sequentially, while the parallel algorithm allows the coordinator to query all machines simultaneously. Furthermore, we prove that both algorithms are optimal in their respective settings.
