摘要
Simulating time evolution of generic quantum many-body systems using classical numerical approaches has an exponentially growing cost either with evolution time or with the system size. In this work we present a polynomially scaling hybrid quantum-classical algorithm for time evolving a one-dimensional uniform system in the thermodynamic limit. This algorithm uses a layered uniform sequential quantum circuit as a variational Ansatz to represent infinite translation-invariant quantum states. We show numerically that this Ansatz requires a number of parameters polynomial in the simulation time for a given accuracy. Furthermore, this favorable scaling of the Ansatz is maintained during our variational evolution algorithm. All steps of the hybrid optimization are designed with near-term digital quantum computers in mind. After benchmarking the evolution algorithm on a classical computer, we demonstrate the measurement of observables of this uniform state using a finite number of qubits on a cloud-based quantum processing unit. With more efficient tensor contraction schemes, this algorithm may also offer improvements as a classical numerical algorithm. © 2023 authors. Published by the American Physical Society.
