Higher-Order Methods for Quantum Simulations

Quantum Physics 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

To efficiently implement many-particle quantum simulations on quantum computers we develop and present methods for inverting the Campbell-Baker-Hausdorff lemma to 3rd and 4th order in the commutator. That is, we reexpress exp{-i(H_1 + H_2 + ...)dt} as a product of factors exp(-i H_1 dt), exp(-i H_2 dt), ... which is accurate to 3rd or 4th order in dt.
