  • The HHL algorithm for matrix inversion is a landmark algorithm in quantum computation. Its ability to produce a state $|x\rangle$ that is the solution of $Ax=b$, given the input state $|b\rangle$, is envisaged to have diverse applications. In this paper, we substantially simplify the algorithm, originally formed of a complex sequence of phase estimations, amplitude amplifications and Hamiltonian simulations, by replacing the phase estimations with a continuous time quantum walk. The key technique is the use of weak couplings to access the matrix inversion embedded in perturbation theory.
