Our approach efficiently leverages native hardware interactions to achieve significantly reduced circuit depth and higher accuracy, outperforming state-of-the-art digital methods. 🔹 Our work enables high-fidelity (>0.98) quantum simulations of strongly correlated systems, including those relevant to #materials science and #energy applications. 🔹 By integrating together digital and analog techniques, we achieve quadratic scaling with the smaller lattice dimension(e.g., both 5×5 and 5×10,000 lattices scale as 25). 🔹 For 1D chain models, our method ensures constant circuit depth, making it highly efficient. Simulating fermion-boson interactions, such as in the Hubbard–Holstein model, is essential for discovering and designing material properties in #photovoltaics, #pharmaceuticals, and high-energy physics. These studies provide crucial insights into polaronic dynamics, which govern charge transport, energy transfer, and recombination processes—key for designing next-generation solar cells with optimized electron-phonon coupling to reduce energy losses. Digital-Analog Quantum Computing is by far the most compact codesigned quantum encoding for academic and industrial applications. Its optimal use of resources allows for computationally harder problems to deliver quantum-advantage level solutions. Check here: https://lnkd.in/dFc-QcpG 👏🏻Congratulations to the whole team!
