On the complexity of implementing Trotter steps (IOP-CAS 2023)

Quantum dynamics can be simulated on a quantum computer by exponentiating elementary terms from the Hamiltonian in a sequential manner. However, such an implementation of Trotter steps has gate complexity depending on the total Hamiltonian term …

Quantum algorithms for quantum simulation (ITP-CAS 2022, in Chinese)

This talk, delivered in Chinese, provides an overview of quantum algorithms for general-purpose Hamiltonian simulation. Topics included are an introduction of two common quantum simulation algorithms (Trotterization and Qubitization), a discussion of …

Trotterization and Trotter Error (YQIS 2021)

The Lie-Trotter formula, together with its higher-order generalizations, provides a simple approach to decomposing the exponential of a sum of operators, an approach commonly known as Trotterization in quantum computation. This talk will present some …

Nearly tight Trotterization of interacting electrons (QIP 2021)

We consider simulating quantum systems on digital quantum computers. We show that the performance of quantum simulation can be improved by simultaneously exploiting the commutativity of Hamiltonian, the sparsity of interactions, and the prior …

Toward the first quantum simulation with quantum speedup (QIP 2018)

With quantum computers of significant size now on the horizon, we should understand how to best exploit their initially limited abilities. To this end, we aim to identify a practical problem that is beyond the reach of current classical computers, …
