One-to-one quantum simulation of a frustrated magnet with 256 qubits

Lucas Leclerc, Sergi Julià-Farré, Gabriel Silva Freitas +33

Analog quantum simulators offer a powerful microscopic probe of quantum many-body systems, yet have largely been benchmarked against model Hamiltonians rather than real materials.…

Quantum simulation of general spin-1/2 Hamiltonians with parity-violating fermionic Gaussian states

Michael Kaicher, Joseph Vovrosh, Alexandre Dauphin +1

We introduce equations of motion for a parity-violating fermionic mean-field theory (PV-FMFT): a numerically efficient fermionic mean-field theory based on parity-violating fermion…

Pulse-based optimization of quantum many-body states with Rydberg atoms in optical tweezer arrays

Kazuma Nagao, Sergi Julià-Farré, Joseph Vovrosh +2

We explore a pulse-based variational quantum eigensolver (VQE) algorithm for Rydberg atoms in optical tweezer arrays and evaluate its performance on prototypical quantum spin model…
