Quantum simulation of transverse field Ising model using numerical linked cluster expansions with variational quantum eigensolver — •Sumeet Sumeet, Max Hörmann, and Kai P. Schmidt — Institut für Theoretische Physik I Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg

With the advancements in quantum technologies it has become inevitable to investigate the potential existence of quantum advantage for the paradigmatic models of quantum-many body physics. One of the very basic models is the transverse field Ising model that can be simulated on a quantum computer to compute properties such as the ground-state energy of a spin system. This problem, when tackled on a classical computer, leads to an exponential surge in the cost of computation with increasing system size. The advent of classical-quantum hybrid algorithms has shifted the focus to investigate the solution to this problem with algorithms such as the variational quantum eigensolver (VQE) which is considered reasonably good for obtaining the ground-state energies of quantum many-body systems in the NISQ era. In this work, we exploit the Hamiltonian variational ansatz for calculating the ground-state energy and fidelity of the transverse-field Ising model on one- and two-dimensional geometries. We devise strategies to compute the ground-state energy in the thermodynamic limit on quantum computers. In that regard, we apply numerical linked cluster expansions (NLCE) to VQE in order to simulate infinite spin systems using calculations on finite graphs. Further, we extend this approach to geometrically frustrated systems.
