• Title: Practical limitations of quantum data propagation on noisy quantum processors
• Authors: Gaurav Saxena, Ahmed Shalabi, Thi Ha Kyaw,
• Abstract summary: We show that owing to the noisy nature of current quantum processors, such a quantum algorithm will require single- and two-qubit gates with very low error probability to produce reliable results. Specifically, we provide the upper bounds on how the relative error in variational parameters' propagation scales with the probability of noise in quantum hardware.

• Abstract: The variational quantum imaginary time evolution algorithm is efficient in finding the ground state of a quantum Hamiltonian. This algorithm involves solving a system of linear equations in a classical computer and the solution is then used to propagate a quantum wavefunction. Here, we show that owing to the noisy nature of current quantum processors, such a quantum algorithm or the family of quantum algorithms will require single- and two-qubit gates with very low error probability to produce reliable results. Failure to meet such condition will result in erroneous quantum data propagation even for a relatively small quantum circuit ansatz. Specifically, we provide the upper bounds on how the relative error in variational parameters' propagation scales with the probability of noise in quantum hardware. We also present an exact expression of how the relative error in variational parameter propagation scales with the probability of partially depolarizing noise.

  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.

  We discuss the capabilities of quantum algorithms with special attention paid to a hardware-efficient variational eigensolver. A delicate interplay between magnetic interactions allows one to stabilize a chiral state that destroys the homogeneity of magnetic ordering. We argue that, while being capable of correctly reproducing a uniform magnetic configuration, the hardware-efficient ansatz meets difficulties in providing a detailed description to a noncollinear magnetic structure.
