Reliable analog quantum simulation and quantum complexity

An analog quantum simulator does not employ digital gates and typically does not employ quantum error correction. Yet, one hopes such devices can achieve a “quantum advantage,” i.e., enable the simulation of some property that cannot be simulated efficiently on a classical computer. Typically, one considers “universal” properties in condensed matter, as these are the quantities that are robust in the presence of perturbations [1]. What is the relationship between robustness and complexity? Are the robust properties efficiently simulatable on a classical computer, and the complex properties hyper-sensitive to perturbation? To address these questions, we seek to quantify the reliability of an analog quantum simulator while simulating complex systems and thereby identify these universal quantities. We study a “programmable” analog quantum simulator in the 16-dimensional Hilbert space based on optimal control of atomic spins in cesium [2], and study the basic paradigms such as the excited state quantum phase transitions [3] in the Lipkin-Meshkov-Glick (LMG) model [3].
