Description
Summary:<p>Quantum Computers promise to be superior to conventional computers for the simulation and modelling of quantum many-body systems. Their realisation will have important implications in the fields of condensed-matter physics, chemistry, materials science, biochemistry and beyond. As quantum computers are gradually scaled up, one question might be <em>how exactly would we use quantum computers to model quantum many-body systems that we can't model with conventional computers</em>? This thesis addresses this question by exploring well-known methodologies and establishing novel quantum computing algorithms, which target the digital simulation of many-body systems on current and future quantum computing technologies, and paves the way for achieving quantum advantage in simulation.</p>
