• Abstract: Many-body localization (MBL) is a dynamical phenomenon that describes the non-ergodicity of isolated quantum many-body systems. In contrast to thermalization, this phenomenon leads to a long-lived memory of initial states of local systems and slow growth of entanglement. In this work, we study Stark MBL in a 12-qubit correlated fermionic system described by the one-dimensional Fermi-Hubbard model using Hamiltonian simulation on an IBM superconducting qubit quantum computer. To enable such a computation on current-day noisy hardware, we combine a series of compilation steps, including the use of the spin-resolved Jordan-Wigner transformation, employing SWAP networks, and integrating a tensor-network-based quantum circuit optimization routine on top of a standard circuit optimization pipeline. As a result, there is approximately an 88$\%$ and 87$\%$ reduction in two-qubit gate count and circuit depth, respectively. Through such simulations of the real-time dynamics using Trotterized quantum circuits, we exhibit a crossover from thermalizing dynamics of the system at a weak tilt of the field to a strongly localized behavior at large tilt with short evolution times. We also benchmark our obtained results with respect to those from exact simulations.

  Quantum many-body problems are central to demystifying some exotic quantum phenomena, e.g., high-temperature superconductors. The combination of neural networks (NN) for representing quantum states, and the Variational Monte Carlo (VMC) algorithm, has been shown to be a promising method for solving such problems. We propose a NN architecture called Vector-Quantized Neural Quantum States (VQ-NQS) that utilizes vector-quantization techniques to leverage redundancies in the local-energy calculations of the VMC algorithm.
