Many-body Hierarchy of Dissipative Timescales in a Quantum Computer

arXiv:2011.08853 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevResearch.3.023190

Abstract

We show that current noisy quantum computers are ideal platforms for the simulation of quantum many-body dynamics in generic open systems. We demonstrate this using the IBM Quantum Computer as an experimental platform for confirming the theoretical prediction from [Phys. Rev. Lett.124, 100604 (2020)] of an emergent hierarchy of relaxation timescales of many-body observables involving different numbers of qubits. Using different protocols, we leverage the intrinsic dissipation of the machine responsible for gate errors, to implement a quantum simulation of generic (i.e. structureless) local dissipative interactions.
