abstract

Simulating quantum mechanics is known to be a difficult computational problem, especially when dealing with large systems. However, this difficulty may be overcome by using some controllable quantum system to study another less controllable or accessible quantum system, i.e., quantum simulation. Quantum simulation promises to have applications in the study of many problems in, e.g., condensed-matter physics, high-energy physics, atomic physics, quantum chemistry and cosmology. Quantum simulation could be implemented using quantum computers, but also with simpler, analog devices that would require less control, and therefore, would be easier to construct. A number of quantum systems such as neutral atoms, ions, polar molecules, electrons in semiconductors, superconducting circuits, nuclear spins and photons have been proposed as quantum simulators. This review outlines the main theoretical and experimental aspects of quantum simulation and emphasizes some of the challenges and promises of this fast-growing field.

Gauss law codes and vacuum codes from lattice gauge theories

quant-ph · 2026-04-07 · unverdicted · novelty 8.0

Gauss law codes identify the full gauge-invariant sector as the code space while vacuum codes restrict to the matter vacuum, with the two shown to be unitarily equivalent for finite gauge groups.

Hybrid Path-Sums for Hybrid Quantum Programs

cs.PL · 2026-04-27 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

Hybrid Path-Sums offer a new symbolic framework with rewriting rules and assertions to represent, simplify, and verify properties of hybrid quantum-classical programs.

Thermalization from quenching in coupled oscillators

quant-ph · 2025-12-03 · conditional · novelty 6.0

Sudden quenches in a pair of coupled oscillators produce exact or approximate thermalization of a quantum harmonic oscillator to arbitrary temperatures via solvable equations on the Gaussian covariance matrix.

Simulating quantum chaos on a quantum computer

quant-ph · 2021-07-20 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Hybrid simulation of the 2-qubit quantum kicked top on IBMQ shows periodic evolution and chaos signatures in time-averaged entanglement, with gate count independent of kick number.

Taming Trotter Errors with Quantum Resources

quant-ph · 2026-04-15 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

Higher entanglement entropy reduces variance of Trotter errors and higher magic reduces kurtosis, making error distributions more robust in quantum simulation.
