Reconstructing Thermal Quantum Quench Dynamics from Pure States
arXiv:2307.14508 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.108.134301
Abstract
Simulating the nonequilibrium dynamics of thermal states is a fundamental problem across scales from high energy to condensed matter physics. Quantum computers may provide a way to solve this problem efficiently. Preparing a thermal state on a quantum computer is challenging, but there exist methods to circumvent this by computing a weighted sum of time-dependent matrix elements in a convenient basis. While the number of basis states can be large, in this work we show that it can be reduced by simulating only the largest density matrix elements by weight, capturing the density matrix to a specified precision. Leveraging Hamiltonian symmetries enables further reductions. This approach paves the way to more accurate thermal-state dynamics simulations on near-term quantum hardware.
