Quantum computers are expected to become a powerful tool for studying physical quantum systems. Consequently, a number of quantum algorithms for studying the physical properties of such systems have been developed. While qubit-based quantum…

We show that a dynamical supersymmetry can appear in a purely fermionic system. This ``supersymmetry without bosons" is constructed by application of a recently introduced boson-fermion Dyson mapping from a fermion space to a space…
