• Abstract: The study of many-body quantum dynamics in strongly-correlated systems is extremely challenging. To date few numerical methods exist which are capable of simulating the non-equilibrium dynamics of two-dimensional quantum systems, in part reflecting complexity theoretic obstructions. In this work, we present a new technique able to overcome this obstacle, by combining continuous unitary flow techniques with the newly developed method of scrambling transforms. We overcome the prejudice that approximately diagonalizing the Hamiltonian cannot lead to reliable predictions for relatively long times. To the contrary, we show that the method works well in both localized and delocalized phases, and makes reliable predictions for a number of quantities including infinite-temperature autocorrelation functions. We complement our findings with rigorous incremental bounds on the truncation error. This approach shows that in practice, the exploration of intermediate-scale time evolution may be more feasible than is commonly assumed, challenging near-term quantum simulators.

• Quantum simulations of time-dependent Hamiltonians beyond the quasi-static approximation [0.0]
  existing approaches to analogue quantum simulations of time-dependent quantum systems rely on perturbative corrections to quantum simulations of time-independent quantum systems. We overcome this restriction to perturbative treatments with an approach based on flow equations and a multi-mode Fourier expansion. The potential of the quantum simulations that can be achieved with our approach is demonstrated with the pedagogical example of a Lambda-system and the quench in finite time through a quantum phase transition of a Chern insulator in a driven non-interacting Hubbard system.

We quantify the volume effects for various $1+1$D Minkowski-signature quantities and show that these can be a significant source of systematic uncertainty.
