• Abstract: We study how chaos, introduced by a weak perturbation, affects the reliability of the output of analog quantum simulation. As a toy model, we consider the Lipkin-Meshkov-Glick (LMG) model. Inspired by the semiclassical behavior of the order parameter in the thermodynamic limit, we propose a protocol to measure the quantum phase transition in the ground state and the dynamical quantum phase transition associated with quench dynamics. We show that the presence of a small time-dependent perturbation can render the dynamics of the system chaotic. We then show that the estimates of the critical points of these quantum phase transitions, obtained from the quantum simulation of its dynamics, are robust to the presence of this chaotic perturbation, while other aspects of the system, such as the mean magnetization are fragile, and therefore cannot be reliably extracted from this simulator. This can be understood in terms of the simulated quantities that depend on the global structure of phase space vs. those that depend on local trajectories.

We digitally prepare the system in pairwise-entangled dimer states and image the transport of energy and vorticity during thermalization.

• Quantum simulations of time-dependent Hamiltonians beyond the quasi-static approximation [0.0]
  existing approaches to analogue quantum simulations of time-dependent quantum systems rely on perturbative corrections to quantum simulations of time-independent quantum systems. We overcome this restriction to perturbative treatments with an approach based on flow equations and a multi-mode Fourier expansion. The potential of the quantum simulations that can be achieved with our approach is demonstrated with the pedagogical example of a Lambda-system and the quench in finite time through a quantum phase transition of a Chern insulator in a driven non-interacting Hubbard system.

  Quantum algorithms for quantum dynamics simulations are traditionally based on implementing a Trotter-approximation of the time-evolution operator. variational quantum algorithms have become an indispensable alternative, enabling small-scale simulations on present-day hardware. We show that, despite providing a clear reduction of quantum gate cost, the variational method in its current implementation is unlikely to lead to a quantum advantage.
