Research Type Theoretical We present quantum algorithms for sampling from possibly non-logconcave probability distributions expressed as π(x) exp( βf(x)) as well as quantum algorithms for estimating the partition function for such distributions. Our quantum algorithms exhibit polynomial speedups in terms of dimension or precision dependencies when compared to best-known classical algorithms under similar assumptions.
