  1. 1 Intro
  2. 2 Quantum simulation • Dynamics of a quantum system are given by its Hamiltonian
  3. 3 Reasons to study quantum simulation
  4. 4 Product formulas • Also known as Trotterization or the splitting method.
  5. 5 Higher-order product formulas • A general pth-order product formula takes the form
  6. 6 Previous analyses of Trotter error • For sufficiently small t. Trotter error can be represented exactly
  7. 7 Trotter error with commutator scaling Trotter error with commutator scaling A poth-order product formula .(t) can approacimate the evolution
  8. 8 Analysis of the first-order formula • Altogether, we have the integral representation
  9. 9 Nearest-neighbor lattice Hamiltonian
  10. 10 Clustered Hamiltonian Clustered Hamiltonian
  11. 11 Transverse field Ising model Transverse field Ising model
  12. 12 Simulating local observables • We show that local observables can be simulated with complexity independent of the system size for power-law Hamiltonians, implying a Lieb-Robinson bound as a byproduct.
  13. 13 A theory of Trotter error
  14. 14 Error types • Suppose that we use product formula 3 (t) to approximate the . We consider the active, exponentiated, and multiplicative type
  15. 15 Error representations
