A typical goal of a quantum simulation is to find the energy levels and eigenstates of a given Hamiltonian. This can be realized by adiabatically varying the system control parameters to steer an initial eigenstate into the eigenstate of…
The stabilizer ground state is defined is the lowest energy stabilizer state with respect to a given Hamiltonian. In many cases it is highly degenerate and does not give a unique stabilizer state. We define the optimal stabilizer ground…
