• Authors: Kasra Hejazi, Modjtaba Shokrian Zini, Juan Miguel Arrazola
• Abstract summary: We rigorously consider the error induced by product formulas when the state undergoing time evolution lies in the low-energy sector. We show that in such a setting, the usual error bounds based on the operator norm of nested commutators can be replaced by those restricted to suitably chosen low-energy subspaces.

• Abstract: Product formulas are one of the main approaches for quantum simulation of the Hamiltonian dynamics of a quantum system. Their implementation cost is computed based on error bounds which are often pessimistic, resulting in overestimating the total runtime. In this work, we rigorously consider the error induced by product formulas when the state undergoing time evolution lies in the low-energy sector with respect to the Hamiltonian of the system. We show that in such a setting, the usual error bounds based on the operator norm of nested commutators can be replaced by those restricted to suitably chosen low-energy subspaces, yielding tighter error bounds. Furthermore, under some locality and positivity assumptions, we show that the simulation of generic product formulas acting on low-energy states can be done asymptotically more efficiently when compared with previous results.

  We propose a method to compute expectation values in massive Quantum Field Theories with line defects. We use a quantization scheme where (imaginary) time runs perpendicularly to the defect. We demonstrate the effectiveness of this machinery by computing correlation functions of local bulk and defect operators in $phi4$ theory with a magnetic line defect.

  We study the error of product formulas for the specific task of quantum energy estimation. We employ the theory of Trotter error with a Magnus-based expansion of the effectively simulated Hamiltonian. We show that for Hamiltonians with some locality and positivity properties, the cost can achieve up to a quadratic speedup in terms of the target error.

  Hamiltonian simulation using product formulas is arguably the most straightforward and practical approach for algorithmic simulation on a quantum computer. We present corrected product formulas (CPFs), a variation of product formulas achieved by injecting auxiliary terms called correctors into standard product formulas. CPFs could be a valuable algorithmic tool for early fault-tolerant quantum computers with limited computing resources.

• Time-dependent unbounded Hamiltonian simulation with vector norm scaling [2.973326951020451]
  The accuracy of quantum dynamics simulation is usually measured by the error of the unitary evolution operator in the operator norm. For unbounded operators, after suitable discretization, the norm of the Hamiltonian can be very large, which significantly increases the simulation cost. We demonstrate that under suitable assumptions of the Hamiltonian and the initial vector, if the error is measured in terms of the vector norm, the computational cost may not increase at all.
