Collective neutrino oscillations on a quantum computer with hybrid quantum-classical algorithm
We simulate the time evolution of collective neutrino oscillations in two-flavor settings on a quantum computer. We explore the generalization of Trotter-Suzuki approximation to time-dependent Hamiltonian dynamics. The trotterization steps are further optimized using the Cartan decomposition of two-qubit unitary gates U ϵ SU(4) in the minimum number of controlled-NOT (CNOT) gates making the algorithm more resilient to the hardware noise. As a result, a more efficient hybrid quantum-classical algorithm is also explored to solve the problem on noisy intermediate-scale quantum devices.
