• Abstract: We present a method for describing the time evolution of many-body controlled quantum systems using matrix product operators (MPOs). Existing techniques for solving the time-dependent Schr\"odinger equation (TDSE) with an MPO Hamiltonian often rely on time discretization. In contrast, our approach uses the Magnus expansion and Chebyshev polynomials to model the time evolution, and the MPO representation to efficiently encode the system's dynamics. This results in a scalable method that can be used efficiently for many-body controlled quantum systems. We apply this technique to quantum optimal control, specifically for a gate synthesis problem, demonstrating that it can be used for large-scale optimization problems that are otherwise impractical to formulate in a dense matrix representation.

  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.
