abstract

We present a scheme to efficiently simulate, with a classical computer, the dynamics of multipartite quantum systems on which the amount of entanglement (or of correlations in the case of mixed-state dynamics) is conveniently restricted. The evolution of a pure state of n qubits can be simulated by using computational resources that grow linearly in n and exponentially in the entanglement. We show that a pure-state quantum computation can only yield an exponential speed-up with respect to classical computations if the entanglement increases with the size n of the computation, and gives a lower bound on the required growth.

Bowtie VarQTE: A Resource-Efficient Quantum State Preparation Primitive

quant-ph · 2026-05-19 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Bowtie VarQTE is a hybrid classical-quantum variational time evolution method that exploits causal light-cones to reduce quantum resource use for state preparation while achieving fidelities comparable to approximate quantum compilation.

Universal Non-stabilizerness Dynamics Across Quantum Phase Transitions

quant-ph · 2026-03-09 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Stabilizer Rényi entropies and Pauli spectrum cumulants show universal power-law scaling with driving rate in slow processes across quantum phase transitions, with the logarithmic Pauli spectrum asymptotically Gaussian, demonstrated in the transverse-field Ising model and long-range Kitaev models.
