A Theory of Trotter Error (QIP 2020)

The Lie-Trotter formula, together with its higher-order generalizations, provides a direct approach to decomposing the exponential of a sum of operators. Despite significant effort, the error scaling of such product formulas remains poorly …

Digital quantum simulation by product formulas (TQC 2019)

Merged talk. Faster quantum simulation by randomization: Product formulas can be used to simulate Hamiltonian dynamics on a quantum computer by approximating the exponential of a sum of operators by a product of exponentials of the individual …

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, …
