Variational Simulation of the Lipkin-Meshkov-Glick Model on a Neutral Atom Quantum Computer

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

We simulate the Lipkin-Meshkov-Glick model using the variational-quantum-eigensolver algorithm on a neutral atom quantum computer. We test the ground-state energy of spin systems with up to 15 spins. Two different encoding schemes are used: an individual spin encoding where each spin is represented by one qubit, and an efficient Gray code encoding scheme that only requires a number of qubits that scales with the logarithm of the number of spins. This more efficient encoding, together with zero-noise extrapolation techniques, is shown to improve the fidelity of the simulated energies with respect to exact solutions.
