Improved Accreditation of Analogue Quantum Simulation and Establishing Quantum Advantage

Jackson, Andrew, Animesh Datta

Abstract

We improve on the results of [A. Jackson et al. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A 121 (6). 2024] on the verification of analogue quantum simulators by eliminating the use of universal Hamiltonians, removing the need for two-qubit gates, and no longer assuming error is represented by identical maps across simulations. This new protocol better reflects the reality of extant analogue simulators. It integrates well with recent complexity theoretic results, leading to a near-term feasible simulation-based route to establishing quantum advantage.

Going beyond gadgets: the importance of scalability for analogue quantum simulators

Dylan Harley, Ishaun Datta, Frederik Ravn Klausen +4 more

Quantum hardware has the potential to efficiently solve computationally difficult problems in physics and chemistry to reap enormous practical rewards. Analogue quantum simulation accomplishes this by using the dynamics of a controlled many-body system to mimic those of another system; such a method is feasible on near-term devices. We show that previous theoretical approaches to analogue quantum simulation suffer from fundamental barriers which prohibit scalable experimental implementation. By introducing a new mathematical framework and going beyond the usual toolbox of Hamiltonian complexity theory with an additional resource of engineered dissipation, we show that these barriers can be overcome. This provides a powerful new perspective for the rigorous study of analogue quantum simulators.

Accreditation of analogue quantum simulators

Andrew Jackson, Theodoros Kapourniotis, Animesh Datta

We present an accreditation protocol for analogue, i.e., continuous-time, quantum simulators. For a given simulation task, it provides an upper bound on the variation distance between the probability distributions at the output of an erroneous and error-free analogue quantum simulator. As its overheads are independent of the size and nature of the simulation, the protocol is ready for immediate usage and practical for the long term. It builds on the recent theoretical advances of strongly universal Hamiltonians and quantum accreditation as well as experimental progress toward the realization of programmable hybrid analogue-digital quantum simulators.

Accreditation Against Limited Adversarial Noise

Andrew Jackson

Abstract An accreditation protocol (a variety of quantum verification) is presented, where error is assumed to be adversarial (in contrast to the assumption error is implemented by identical CPTP maps used in previous accreditation protocols)—albeit slightly modified to reflect physically motivated error assumptions. This is achieved by upgrading a pre‐existing accreditation protocol (from [S. Ferracin et al. Phys. Rev. A 104, 042603 (2021)]) to function correctly in the face of adversarial error, with no diminution in efficiency or suitability for near‐term usage.
