Exponentiation of Parametric Hamiltonians via Unitary interpolation

Abstract

The effort to generate matrix exponentials and associated differentials, required to determine the time evolution of quantum systems, frequently constrains the evaluation of problems in quantum control theory, variational circuit compilation, or Monte-Carlo sampling. We introduce two ideas for the time-efficient approximation of matrix exponentials of linear multi-parametric Hamiltonians. We modify the Suzuki-Trotter product formula from an approximation to an interpolation schemes to improve both accuracy and computational time. This allows us to achieve high fidelities within a single interpolation step, which can be computed directly from cached matrices. We furthermore define the interpolation on a grid of system parameters, and show that the infidelity of the interpolation converges with $4^{\mathrm{th}}$ order in the number of interpolation bins.
