contents In this work, we study the Hamiltonian Decoded Quantum Interferometry (HDQI) for the general Hamiltonians $H=\sum_ic_iP_i$ on an $n$-qubit system, where the coefficients $c_i\in \mathbb{R}$ and $P_i$ are Pauli operators. We show that, given access to an appropriate decoding oracle, there exist efficient quantum algorithms for preparing the state $ρ_{\mathcal P}(H) = \frac{\mathcal P^2(H)}{\text{Tr}[\mathcal P^2(H)]}$, where $\mathcal P(H)$ denotes the matrix function induced by a univariate polynomial $\mathcal P(x)$. Such states can be used to approximate the Gibbs states of $H$ for suitable choices of polynomials. We further demonstrate that the proposed algorithms are robust to imperfections in the decoding procedure. Our results substantially extend the scope of HDQI beyond stabilizer-like Hamiltonians, providing a method for Gibbs-state preparation and Hamiltonian optimization in a broad class of physically and computationally relevant quantum systems.
