Consider two quantum systems A and B interacting according to a product Hamiltonian H = H_A x H_B. We show that any two such Hamiltonians can be used to simulate each other reversibly (i.e., without efficiency losses) with the help of local…

The physics of a closed quantum mechanical system is governed by its Hamiltonian. However, in most practical situations, this Hamiltonian is not precisely known, and ultimately all there is are data obtained from measurements on the system.…

In recent years quantum simulation has made great strides culminating in experiments that operate in a regime that existing supercomputers cannot easily simulate. Although this raises the possibility that special purpose analog quantum…
