• Abstract summary: We propose a protocol which combines a dilation method with the variational quantum algorithm. The dilation method is used to transform a non-Hermitian Hamiltonian into a Hermitian one through an exquisite quantum circuit. As a demonstration, we apply our protocol to simulate the dynamics of an Ising chain with nonlocal non-Hermitian perturbations.

• Abstract: Non-Hermitian quantum systems have recently attracted considerable attention due to their exotic properties. Though many experimental realizations of non-Hermitian systems have been reported, the non-Hermiticity usually resorts to the hard-to-control environments and cannot last for too long times. An alternative approach is to use quantum simulation with the closed system, whereas how to simulate non-Hermitian Hamiltonian dynamics remains a great challenge. To tackle this problem, we propose a protocol which combines a dilation method with the variational quantum algorithm. The dilation method is used to transform a non-Hermitian Hamiltonian into a Hermitian one through an exquisite quantum circuit, while the variational quantum algorithm is for efficiently approximating the complex entangled gates in this circuit. As a demonstration, we apply our protocol to simulate the dynamics of an Ising chain with nonlocal non-Hermitian perturbations, which is an important model to study quantum phase transition at nonzero temperatures. The numerical simulation results are highly consistent with the theoretical predictions, revealing the effectiveness of our protocol. The presented protocol paves the way for practically simulating small-scale non-Hermitian dynamics.

  We demonstrate the power of variational quantum circuits for resource-efficient simulations of dynamical and equilibrium physics in non-Hermitian systems. Using a variational quantum compilation scheme for fermionic systems, we reduce gate count, save qubits, and eliminate the need for postselection. We provide an analytical example demonstrating that simulating single-qubit non-Hermitian dynamics for $Theta(log(n))$ time from certain initial states is exponentially hard on a quantum computer.

  We provide a framework that allows different simulation methods to be hybridized and thereby improve performance for interaction picture simulations. Physical applications of these hybridized methods yield a gate complexity scaling as $log2 Lambda$ in the electric cutoff. For the general problem of Hamiltonian simulation subject to dynamical constraints, these methods yield a query complexity independent of the penalty parameter $lambda$ used to impose an energy cost.
