Analogue quantum simulation is arguably the most promising near-term application of quantum computing. However, it is unknown how noise may limit analogue simulators’ computational power. Using a technique to remove errors in the computational basis of the system, without resorting to a full error correcting scheme, we look to both measure and increase an analogue quantum simulator’s robustness to noise, using a chain of trapped ions in a state-of-the-art microfabricated surface electrode trap.
