Black-box quantum state preparation is an important subroutine in many quantum algorithms. The standard approach requires the quantum computer to do arithmetic, which is a key contributor to the complexity. Here we present a new algorithm that avoids arithmetic. We thereby reduce the number of gates by a factor of 286-374 over the best prior work for realistic precision; the improvement factor increases with the precision. As quantum state preparation is a crucial subroutine in many approaches to simulating physics on a quantum computer, our new method brings useful quantum simulation closer to reality.
