• Abstract: Quantum computers can generate real-time correlators of field theories. By adapting the generalized eigenvalue problem to these correlators, energy eigenvalues can be extracted directly. The method is tested using both classical simulations and quantum hardware, successfully resolving several low-lying energy levels in agreement with exact diagonalization. Comparison with an alternative spectrum determination based on the Fourier transform of correlators shows that the proposed approach is substantially more efficient.

  Key properties of physical systems can be described by the eigenvalues of matrices that represent the system. Computational algorithms that determine the eigenvalues of these matrices exist, but they generally suffer from a loss of performance as the matrix grows in size. This process can be expanded to quantum computation to find the eigenvalues with better performance than the classical algorithms.

  Energy extraction from quantum sources is a key task to develop new quantum devices such as quantum batteries. One of the main issues to fully extract energy from the quantum source is the assumption that any unitary operation can be done on the system. We propose an approach to optimize the extractable energy inspired by the variational quantum eigensolver (VQE) algorithm.
