Digital adiabatic evolution is universally accurate

Adiabatic evolution is a central paradigm in quantum physics. Digital simulations of adiabatic processes are generally viewed as costly, since algorithmic errors typically accumulate over the long evolution time, requiring exceptionally deep circuits to maintain accuracy. This work demonstrates that digital adiabatic evolution is intrinsically accurate and robust to simulation errors. We analyze two Hamiltonian simulation methods -- Trotterization and generalized quantum signal processing -- and prove that the simulation error does not increase with time. Numerical simulations of molecular systems and linear equations confirm the theory, revealing that digital adiabatic evolution is substantially more efficient than previously assumed. Remarkably, our estimation for the first-order Trotterization error can be 10^6 times tighter than previous analyses for the transverse field Ising model even with less than 6 qubits. The findings establish fundamental robustness of digital adiabatic evolution and provide a basis for accurate, efficient implementations on fault-tolerant -- and potentially near-term -- quantum platforms.
