• Abstract: The realization of novel phases of matter on quantum simulators is a topic of intense interest. Digital quantum computers offer a route to prepare topological phases with interactions that do not naturally arise in analog quantum simulators. Here, we report the realization of symmetry-protected topological (SPT) phases of a spin-{1/2} Hamiltonian with next-nearest-neighbor hopping on up to 11 qubits on a programmable superconducting quantum processor. We observe clear signatures of the two distinct SPT phases, such as excitations localized to specific edges and finite string order parameters. Our work advances ongoing efforts to realize novel states of matter with exotic interactions on digital near-term quantum computers.

  We present a quantum simulator comprising 69 superconducting qubits which supports both universal quantum gates and high-fidelity analog evolution. We observe signatures of the classical Kosterlitz-Thouless phase transition, as well as strong deviations from Kibble-Zurek scaling predictions. We digitally prepare the system in pairwise-entangled dimer states and image the transport of energy and vorticity during thermalization.

  Chiral edge states are sought-after as paradigmatic topological states relevant to quantum information processing and electron transport. We demonstrate chiral topological propagation that is induced by suitably designed interactions, instead of flux or spin-orbit coupling. By taking advantage of the quantum nature of the platform, we circumvented difficulties from the limited qubit number and gate fidelity in present-day noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ)-era quantum computers.
