Abstract
We consider the extent to which a Trotterized time evolution implemented on a quantum computer is altered by the presence of decoherence. Given a specific set of assumptions regarding the manner in which noise processes acting on such a device can be modeled at the circuit level, we show how the effects of noise can be reinterpreted as a shift to the dynamics of the original system being simulated. In particular, we find that this shift can be described through the use of static Lindblad noise terms, which act in addition to the original unitary dynamics. The form of these noise terms depends not only on the underlying noise processes occurring on the device, but also on the original unitary dynamics, as well as the manner in which these dynamics are simulated on the device, i.e., the choice of quantum algorithm. We call this effectively simulated open quantum system the noisy algorithm model. Our results are confirmed through numerical analysis.
