• Abstract summary: We provide an experimental blueprint for an accurate condensed-matter simulator using eighteen superconducting qubits. We benchmark the underlying method by reconstructing the single-particle band-structure of a one-dimensional wire. We synthesize magnetic flux and disordered local potentials, two key tenets of a condensed-matter system.

• Abstract: A promising approach to study condensed-matter systems is to simulate them on an engineered quantum platform. However, achieving the accuracy needed to outperform classical methods has been an outstanding challenge. Here, using eighteen superconducting qubits, we provide an experimental blueprint for an accurate condensed-matter simulator and demonstrate how to probe fundamental electronic properties. We benchmark the underlying method by reconstructing the single-particle band-structure of a one-dimensional wire. We demonstrate nearly complete mitigation of decoherence and readout errors and arrive at an accuracy in measuring energy eigenvalues of this wire with an error of ~0.01 rad, whereas typical energy scales are of order 1 rad. Insight into this unprecedented algorithm fidelity is gained by highlighting robust properties of a Fourier transform, including the ability to resolve eigenenergies with a statistical uncertainty of 1e-4 rad. Furthermore, we synthesize magnetic flux and disordered local potentials, two key tenets of a condensed-matter system. When sweeping the magnetic flux, we observe avoided level crossings in the spectrum, a detailed fingerprint of the spatial distribution of local disorder. Combining these methods, we reconstruct electronic properties of the eigenstates where we observe persistent currents and a strong suppression of conductance with added disorder. Our work describes an accurate method for quantum simulation and paves the way to study novel quantum materials with superconducting qubits.

We combine the non-Markovian hierarchy of pure states method and the Markovian quantum jumps method with the newly introduced purified density-matrix renormalization group. Surprisingly, our results show that in the metallic phase dissipation localizes the bipolarons, which is reminiscent of an indirect quantum Zeno effect.
