North Carolina State University will receive $399,999 from the National Science Foundation under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to conduct research establishing theoretical and algorithmic foundations for Hamiltonian simulation via Cartan decomposition using Lax dynamics. The university will develop numerical methods to convert mathematically described unitary operators into quantum circuits recognizable for execution with minimal approximation errors. It aims to establish a standardized framework unifying diverse studies in this area. Key research goals include exploiting properties of Hamiltonian subalgebras, describing a common mechanism for deriving Lax dynamics, developing a decomposition-based quantum algorithm, and experimentally testing the algorithm on IBM quantum computing systems. The three-year project beginning September 1, 2023 involves six specific tasks and is expected to find applicability in quantum simulation, many-body problems, and broader quantum information science research. It will also support graduate training in relevant topics.
