Quantum time dynamics of 1D-Heisenberg models employing the Yang-Baxter equation for circuit compression

Quantum time dynamics (QTD) is considered a promising problem for quantum supremacy on near-term quantum computers. However, QTD quantum circuits grow with increasing time simulations. This study focuses on simulating the time dynamics of 1-D integrable spin chains with nearest neighbor interactions. We show how the quantum Yang-Baxter equation can be exploited to compress and produce a shallow quantum circuit. With this compression scheme, the depth of the quantum circuit becomes independent of step size and only depends on the number of spins. We show that the compressed circuit scales quadratically with system size, which allows for the simulations of time dynamics of very large 1-D spin chains. We derive the compressed circuit representations for different special cases of the Heisenberg Hamiltonian. We compare and demonstrate the effectiveness of this approach by performing simulations on quantum computers.
