• Abstract: Central charge is a fundamental quantity in conformal field theories (CFT), and plays a crucial role in determining universality classes of critical points in two-dimensional systems. Despite its significance, the measurement of central charge has remained elusive thus far. In this work, we present the first experimental determination of the central charge using a universal quantum processor. Using a classically optimized variational quantum circuit and employing advanced error mitigation techniques, we successfully prepare ground states of various $1+1D$ quantum spin chain models at their critical point. Leveraging the heavy-hex structure of IBM quantum processors, we are able to implement periodic boundary conditions and mitigate boundary effects. We then extract the central charge from the scaling behavior of the sub-leading term of R{\'{e}}nyi generalizations of classical Shannon entropy, computed for local Pauli measurements in the conformal bases ($\sigma^{z}$ and $\sigma^x$). The experimental results are consistent with the known central charge values for the transverse field Ising (TFI) chain ($c=0.5$) and the XXZ chain ($c=1$), achieving relative errors as low as 5 percent.

  Transfer of quantum information between many-qubit states is a subject of fundamental importance in quantum science and technology. We consider entanglement swapping in critical quantum spin chains, where the entanglement between the two chains is induced solely by the Bell-state measurements. We show that the swapped entanglement exhibits a logarithmic scaling, whose coefficient takes a universal value determined by the scaling dimension of the boundary condition changing operator.

  We perform a detailed estimate for the prospect of using deep entanglement renormalization ansatz on a fault-tolerant quantum computer. For probing a relatively large system size, we observe up to an order of magnitude reduction in the number of qubits. For estimating the energy per site of $epsilon$, $mathcalOleft(fraclog Nepsilon right)$ $T$ gates and $mathcalOleft(log Nright)$ qubits suffice.
