Abstract

Quantum state preparation plays a crucial role in several areas of quantum information science, in applications such as quantum simulation, quantum metrology and quantum computing. However, typically state preparation requires resources that scale exponentially with the problem size, due to their probabilistic nature or otherwise, making studying such models challenging. In this article, we propose a method to prepare the ground state of the Affleck-Lieb-Kennedy-Tasaki (AKLT) model deterministically using a measurement-based imaginary time evolution (MITE) approach. By taking advantage of the special properties of the AKLT state, we show that it can be prepared efficiently using the MITE approach. Estimates based on the convergence of a sequence of local projections, as well as direct evolution of the MITE algorithm suggest a constant scaling with respect to the number of AKLT sites, which is an exponential improvement over the naive estimate for convergence. We show that the procedure is compatible with qubit-based simulators, and show that using a variational quantum algorithm for circuit recompilation, the measurement operator required for MITE can be well approximated by a circuit with a much shallower circuit depth compared with the one obtained using the default Qiskit method.

Preparing the Affleck, Kennedy, Lieb, and Tasaki (AKLT) state — a key many-body state in quantum physics— on a quantum device has been an outstanding challenge in the field of quantum simulations. Traditional approaches require transforming the projective operations into a unitary form, often demanding additional resources that make the method slow and impractical for larger systems.

In this study, we apply the Measurement-Based Imaginary Time Evolution (MITE) approach to overcome these challenges. By leveraging unique properties of the AKLT state, our method eliminates the need for resource-intensive transformations and reduces preparation time to a constant, independent of the system size of the AKLT state. This represents an exponential improvement over conventional methods.

We demonstrate its compatibility with qubit-based platforms like IBM Q Qiskit and Google Cirq, mapping the AKLT model onto qubit Hamiltonians and using advanced optimization techniques for implementation. This breakthrough opens the door to more practical and scalable quantum simulations on existing hardware, marking a significant step forward for the field.
