Can One Trust Quantum Simulators?

Hauke, Philipp, Cucchietti, Fernando M., Tagliacozzo, Luca et al.

Understand

Various fundamental phenomena of strongly-correlated quantum systems such as high-$T_c$ superconductivity, the fractional quantum-Hall effect, and quark confinement are still awaiting a universally accepted explanation.

  • The main obstacle is the computational complexity of solving even the most simplified theoretical models that are designed to capture the relevant quantum correlations of the many-body system of interest.
  • In his seminal 1982 paper [Int.
