• Abstract summary: We introduce a method for digital preparation of ground states of simulated Hamiltonians inspired by cooling in nature. The cold bath is simulated by a single ancillary qubit, which is reset periodically and coupled to the system non-perturbatively. We optimize two cooling protocols based on weak-coupling and strong-coupling approaches.

• Abstract: We introduce a method for digital preparation of ground states of simulated Hamiltonians, inspired by cooling in nature and adapted to leverage the capabilities of digital quantum hardware. The cold bath is simulated by a single ancillary qubit, which is reset periodically and coupled to the system non-perturbatively. Studying this cooling method on a 1-qubit system toy model, we optimize two cooling protocols based on weak-coupling and strong-coupling approaches. Extending the insight from the 1-qubit system model, we develop two scalable protocols for larger systems. The LogSweep protocol extends the weak-coupling approach by sweeping energies to resonantly match any targeted transition. We test LogSweep on the 1D tranverse-field Ising model, demonstrating approximate ground state preparation with an error that can be made polynomially small in the computation time for all three phases of the system. The BangBang protocol extends the strong-coupling approach, and exploits a heuristics for local Hamiltonians to maximise the probability of de-exciting system transitions in the shortest possible time. Although this protocol does not promise long-time convergence, it allows for a rapid cooling to an approximation of the ground state, making this protocol appealing for near-term demonstrations.

  Dissipative state engineering is a term for a protocol which prepares the ground state of a Hamiltonian using engineered dissipation or engineered environments. We argue that this approach has an intrinsic limitation because the ancillas, seen as an effective bath by the system in the weak-coupling limit, do not give the detailed balance expected for a true zero-temperature environment. We explore overcoming this limitation using a recently developed technique from open-quantum-systems called pseudomodes.
