• Abstract summary: variational quantum time evolution is a promising candidate for near-term devices. We show that our algorithm accurately reproduces the system dynamics at a fraction of the cost of standard variational quantum time evolution algorithms. As an application of quantum imaginary-time evolution, we calculate a thermodynamic observable, the energy per site, of the Heisenberg model.

• Abstract: The real- and imaginary-time evolution of quantum states are powerful tools in physics, chemistry, and beyond, to investigate quantum dynamics, prepare ground states or calculate thermodynamic observables. On near-term devices, variational quantum time evolution is a promising candidate for these tasks, as the required circuit model can be tailored to trade off available device capabilities and approximation accuracy. However, even if the circuits can be reliably executed, variational quantum time evolution algorithms quickly become infeasible for relevant system sizes due to the calculation of the Quantum Geometric Tensor (QGT). In this work, we propose a solution to this scaling problem by leveraging a dual formulation that circumvents the explicit evaluation of the QGT. We demonstrate our algorithm for the time evolution of the Heisenberg Hamiltonian and show that it accurately reproduces the system dynamics at a fraction of the cost of standard variational quantum time evolution algorithms. As an application of quantum imaginary-time evolution, we calculate a thermodynamic observable, the energy per site, of the Heisenberg model.

  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.
