• Abstract: Given quantum hardware that enables sampling from a family of natively implemented Hamiltonians, how well can one use that hardware to sample from a Hamiltonian outside that family? A common approach is to minor embed the desired Hamiltonian in a native Hamiltonian. In Phys. Rev. Research 2, 023020 (2020) it was shown that minor embedding can be detrimental for classical thermal sampling. Here, we generalize these results by considering quantum thermal sampling in the transverse-field Ising model, i.e. sampling a Hamiltonian with non-zero off diagonal terms. To study these systems numerically we introduce a modification to standard cluster update quantum Monte-Carlo (QMC) techniques, which allows us to much more efficiently obtain thermal samples of an embedded Hamiltonian, enabling us to simulate systems of much larger sizes and larger transverse-field strengths than would otherwise be possible. Our numerics focus on models that can be implemented on current quantum devices using planar two-dimensional lattices, which exhibit finite-temperature quantum phase transitions. Our results include: i) An estimate on the probability to sample the logical subspace directly as a function of transverse-field, temperature, and total system size, which agrees with QMC simulations. ii) We show that typically measured observables (diagonal energy and magnetization) are biased by the embedding process, in the regime of intermediate transverse field strength, meaning that the extracted values are not the same as in the native model. iii) By considering individual embedding realizations akin to 'realizations of disorder', we provide numerical evidence suggesting that as the embedding size is increased, the critical point shifts to increasingly large values of the transverse-field.

  We embed the antiferromagnetic Ising model on the Kagome lattice on the latest architecture of D-Wave's quantum annealer, the Advantage2 prototype. We show that under a finite longitudinal field the system exhibits a one-third magnetization plateau, consistent with a classical spin liquid state of reduced entropy. An anneal-pause-quench protocol is then used to extract an experimental ensemble of states resulting from the equilibration of the model at finite transverse and longitudinal field.

  We study the entanglement dynamics of thermofield double (TFD) states in integrable spin chains and quantum field theories. We show that, for a natural choice of the Hamiltonian eigenbasis, the TFD evolution may be interpreted as a quantum quench from an initial state. We conjecture a formula for the entanglement dynamics, which is valid for both discrete and continuous integrable field theories.
