Quantum algorithms for optimal effective theory of many-body systems
arXiv:2211.14854 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.108.032403
Abstract
A common situation in quantum many-body physics is that the underlying theories are known but too complicated to solve efficiently. In such cases one usually builds simpler effective theories as low-energy or large-scale alternatives to the original theories. Here the central tasks are finding the optimal effective theories and proving their equivalence to the original theories. Recently quantum computing has shown the potential of solving quantum many-body systems by exploiting its inherent parallelism. It is thus an interesting topic to discuss the emergence of effective theories and design efficient tools for finding them based on the results from quantum computing. As the first step towards this direction, in this paper, we propose two approaches that apply quantum computing to find the optimal effective theory of a quantum many-body system given its full Hamiltonian. The first algorithm searches the space of effective Hamiltonians by quantum phase estimation and amplitude amplification. The second algorithm is based on a variational approach that is promising for near-future applications.
