• Abstract: This work introduces a novel approach to quantum simulation by leveraging continuous-variable systems within a photonic hardware-inspired framework. The primary focus is on simulating static properties of the ground state of Hamiltonians associated with infinite-dimensional systems, such as those arising in quantum field theory. We present a continuous-variable variational quantum eigensolver compatible with state-of-the-art photonic technology. The framework we introduce allows us to compare discrete and continuous variable systems without introducing a truncation of the Hilbert space, opening the possibility to investigate the scenarios where one of the two formalisms performs better. We apply it to the study of static properties of the Bose--Hubbard model and demonstrate its effectiveness and practicality, highlighting the potential of continuous-variable quantum simulations in addressing complex problems in quantum physics.

  Non-relativistic interacting quantum many-body systems are naturally described in terms of continuous-space Hamiltonians. Current algorithms require discretization, which usually amounts to choosing a finite basis set, inevitably introducing errors. We propose an alternative, discretization-free approach that combines classical and quantum resources in a global variational ansatz.

  We present an innovative and scalable method to simulate open quantum systems using quantum computers. We define an adjoint density matrix as a counterpart of the true density matrix, which reduces to a mixed-unitary quantum channel. accurate long-time simulation can also be achieved as the adjoint density matrix and the true dissipated one converges to the same state.

The observation of non-trivial learning properties demonstrated in these benchmarks will motivate further exploration of the quantum-data learning architecture in high-energy physics.

  We present a new paradigm for the dynamical simulation of interacting bosonic systems. The method relies on a variational ansatz for the $n$-boson density matrix, in terms of a superposition of photon-added coherent states. We test our method on several examples, demonstrating its potential application to the predictive simulation of interacting bosonic systems and cat qubits.

  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.
