Quantum Simulation of the Majorana Equation and Unphysical Operations

Understand

A quantum simulator is a device engineered to reproduce the properties of an ideal quantum model.

• It allows the study of quantum systems that cannot be efficiently simulated on classical computers.
• While a universal quantum computer is also a quantum simulator, only particular systems have been simulated up to now.
• Still, there is a wealth of successful cases, such as spin models, quantum chemistry, relativistic quantum physics and quantum phase transitions.
