Variational quantum state preparation via quantum data buses

We propose a variational quantum algorithm to prepare ground states of 1D lattice quantum Hamiltonians specifically tailored for programmable quantum devices where interactions among qubits are mediated by Quantum Data Buses (QDB). For trapped ions with the axial Center-Of-Mass (COM) vibrational mode as single QDB, our scheme uses resonant sideband optical pulses as resource operations, which are potentially faster than off-resonant couplings and thus less prone to decoherence. The disentangling of the QDB from the qubits by the end of the state preparation comes as a byproduct of the variational optimization. We numerically simulate the ground state preparation for the Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model in ions and show that our strategy is scalable while being tolerant to finite temperatures of the COM mode.
