• Abstract summary: We propose a quantum protocol that allows preparing a ground state (GS) of the honeycomb Kitaev model. We demonstrate the high fidelity preparation of spin liquid ground states for the original Kitaev model. We then extend the variational procedure to non-zero magnetic fields, studying observables and correlations that reveal the phase transition.

• Abstract: We propose a quantum protocol that allows preparing a ground state (GS) of the honeycomb Kitaev model. Our approach efficiently uses underlying symmetries and techniques from topological error correction. It is based on the stabilization procedure, the developed centralizer ansatz, and utilizes the vortex basis description as the most advantageous for qubit-based simulations. We demonstrate the high fidelity preparation of spin liquid ground states for the original Kitaev model, getting the exact GS for N=24 spins using 230 two-qubit operations. We then extend the variational procedure to non-zero magnetic fields, studying observables and correlations that reveal the phase transition. Finally, we perform dynamical simulation, where the ground state preparation opens a route towards studies of strongly-correlated dynamics, and a potential quantum advantage.

  Learning the structure of the entanglement Hamiltonian (EH) is central to characterizing quantum many-body states in analog quantum simulation. We describe a protocol where spatial deformations of the many-body Hamiltonian, physically realized on the quantum device, serve as an efficient variational ansatz for a local EH. We simulate the protocol for the ground state of Fermi-Hubbard models in quasi-1D geometries, finding excellent agreement of the EH with Bisognano-Wichmann predictions.
