We present the first framework to solve linear inverse problems leveraging pre-trained \textit{latent} diffusion models. Previously proposed algorithms (such as DPS and DDRM) only apply to \textit{pixel-space} diffusion models. We theoretically analyze our algorithm showing provable sample recovery in a linear model setting. The algorithmic insight obtained from our analysis extends to more general settings often considered in practice. Experimentally, we outperform previously proposed posterior sampling algorithms in a wide variety of problems including random inpainting, block inpainting, denoising, deblurring, destriping, and super-resolution.
