• Abstract: We present a simple algebraic procedure that can be applied to solve a range of quantum eigenvalue problems without the need to know the solution of the Schr\"odinger equation. The procedure, presented with a pedagogical purpose, is based on algebraic consistency conditions that must be satisfied by the eigenvalues of a couple of operators proper of the problem. These operators can be either bilinear forms of the raising and lowering operators appropriate to the problem, or else auxiliary operators constructed by resorting to the factorization of the Hamiltonian. Different examples of important quantum-mechanical textbook problems are worked out to exhibit the clarity and simplicity of the algebraic procedure for determining the spectrum of eigenvalues without knowing the eigenfunctions. For this reason the material presented may be particularly useful for undergraduate students or young physicists.

  We develop a general framework to linearize the von-Neumann equation rendering it in a suitable form for quantum simulations. We show that one of these linearizations of the von-Neumann equation corresponds to the standard case in which the state vector becomes the column stacked elements of the density matrix. A quantum algorithm to simulate the dynamics of the density matrix is proposed.

  We introduce quantum algorithms that can efficiently simulate certain classes of interactions consisting of correlated changes in multiple quantum numbers. The lattice gauge theory studied is the SU(2) gauge theory in 1+1 dimensions coupled to one flavor of staggered fermions. The algorithms are shown to be applicable to higher-dimensional theories as well as to other Abelian and non-Abelian gauge theories.
