Adaptive Variational Quantum Dynamics Simulations

We propose a general-purpose, self-adaptive approach to construct a variational wave-function ansatz for highly accurate quantum dynamics simulations based on McLachlan’s variational principle. The key idea is to dynamically expand the variational ansatz along the time-evolution path such that the “...
