• Abstract summary: We show that analog quantum simulators can efficiently simulate molecular dynamics using bosonic modes to represent vibrations. Our approach can be implemented in any device with a qudit controllably coupled to bosonic oscillators. We expect our method will enable classically intractable chemical dynamics simulations in the near term.

• Abstract: Ultrafast chemical reactions are difficult to simulate because they involve entangled, many-body wavefunctions whose computational complexity grows rapidly with molecular size. In photochemistry, the breakdown of the Born-Oppenheimer approximation further complicates the problem by entangling nuclear and electronic degrees of freedom. Here, we show that analog quantum simulators can efficiently simulate molecular dynamics using commonly available bosonic modes to represent molecular vibrations. Our approach can be implemented in any device with a qudit controllably coupled to bosonic oscillators and with quantum hardware resources that scale linearly with molecular size, and offers significant resource savings compared to digital quantum simulation algorithms. Advantages of our approach include a time resolution orders of magnitude better than ultrafast spectroscopy, the ability to simulate large molecules with limited hardware using a Suzuki-Trotter expansion, and the ability to implement realistic system-bath interactions with only one additional interaction per mode. Our approach can be implemented with current technology; e.g., the conical intersection in pyrazine can be simulated using a single trapped ion. Therefore, we expect our method will enable classically intractable chemical dynamics simulations in the near term.

  We provide a framework that allows different simulation methods to be hybridized and thereby improve performance for interaction picture simulations. Physical applications of these hybridized methods yield a gate complexity scaling as $log2 Lambda$ in the electric cutoff. For the general problem of Hamiltonian simulation subject to dynamical constraints, these methods yield a query complexity independent of the penalty parameter $lambda$ used to impose an energy cost.
