Quantum simulation suggests a path forward for the efficient simulation of problems in condensed-matter physics, quantum chemistry and materials science. While most quantum simulation algorithms are deterministic, a recent surge of ideas has shown that randomization can greatly benefit algorithmic performance. This work introduces a scheme for quantum simulation uniting the advantages of randomized compiling on the one hand and higher-order multi-product formulas as they are used for example in linear-combination-of-unitaries (LCU) algorithms on the other hand. In doing so, we propose a framework of randomized sampling that is expected to be useful for programmable quantum simulators and present two new multi-product formula algorithms tailored to it. Our framework greatly reduces the circuit depth, circumventing the need for oblivious amplitude amplification required for standard LCU methods, rendering it especially useful for near-term quantum computing. Our algorithms achieve a simulation error that shrinks exponentially with the circuit depth. We prove rigorous performance bounds and concentration of the randomized sampling procedure. Furthermore, we demonstrate the functioning for several physically meaningful examples of Hamiltonians for which the method provides a favorable scaling in the effort.
