We propose an iterative algorithm to simulate the dynamics generated by any $n$-qubit Hamiltonian. The simulation entails decomposing the unitary time evolution operator $U$ (unitary) into a product of different time-step unitaries. The…

It has been established that local lattice spin Hamiltonians can be used for universal adiabatic quantum computation. However, the 2-local model Hamiltonians used in these proofs are general and hence do not limit the types of interactions…
We show that, during adiabatic evolution, any changes in entanglement can be attributed to a succession of avoided energy level crossings at which eigenvalues swap their eigenvectors. These swaps mediate the generation and redistribution of…
We introduce a class of non-Hermitian Hamiltonians that offers a dynamical approach to short-cut to adiabaticity (DASA). In particular, in our proposed 2 * 2 Hamiltonians, one eigenvalue is absolutely real and the other one is complex. This…
All elementary Hamiltonians in nature are expected to be invariant under rotation. Despite this restriction, we usually assume that any arbitrary measurement or unitary time evolution can be implemented on a physical system, an assumption…
Shortcuts to adiabaticity are alternative fast processes which reproduce the same final state as the adiabatic process in a finite or even shorter time, which have been extended from Hermitian systems to non-Hermitian systems in recent…
