Abstract
The 1+1D Ising model is an ideal benchmark for quantum algorithms, as it is very well understood theoretically. This is true even when expanding the model to include complex coupling constants. In this work, we implement quantum algorithms designed for the simulation of open or complex coupling quantum field theories on IBM devices with a focus on the measurement of the Lee-Yang edge singularity. This feature corresponds (at large volumes) to a phase transition, and our successful reproduction of the transition represents a non-trivial test for current hardware and its ability to distinguish features of interest in quantum field theories.
