• Abstract summary: We demonstrate a post-quench dynamics simulation of a Heisenberg model on present-day IBM quantum hardware. We show how to measure the required cost function, the overlap between the time-evolved and variational states, on present-day hardware. In addition to carrying out simulations on real hardware, we investigate the performance and scaling behavior of the algorithm with noiseless and noisy classical simulations.

• Abstract: We demonstrate a post-quench dynamics simulation of a Heisenberg model on present-day IBM quantum hardware that extends beyond the coherence time of the device. This is achieved using a hybrid quantum-classical algorithm that propagates a state using Trotter evolution and then performs a classical optimization that effectively compresses the time-evolved state into a variational form. When iterated, this procedure enables simulations to arbitrary times with an error controlled by the compression fidelity and a fixed Trotter step size. We show how to measure the required cost function, the overlap between the time-evolved and variational states, on present-day hardware, making use of several error mitigation methods. In addition to carrying out simulations on real hardware, we investigate the performance and scaling behavior of the algorithm with noiseless and noisy classical simulations. We find the main bottleneck in going to larger system sizes to be the difficulty of carrying out the optimization of the noisy cost function.

  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.
