Digital Quantum Simulation of the Statistical Mechanics of a Frustrated Magnet

Understand

Many interesting problems in physics, chemistry, and computer science are equivalent to problems of interacting spins.

• However, most of these problems require computational resources that are out of reach by classical computers.
• A promising solution to overcome this challenge is to exploit the laws of quantum mechanics to perform simulation.
• Several "analog" quantum simulations of interacting spin systems have been realized experimentally.
