Description of the research topic:

The simulation of quantum systems generally requires exponential classical computational resources, therefore the development of efficient simulation algorithms for various quantum physical systems is an important, exciting, and active research area. In this regard, there are several significant research directions: (a) One of the most promising classical approaches tries to reduce memory and computational resource requirements using tensor networks, which work particularly well when the states are not too entangled. The question is which (not yet investigated) systems can be efficiently simulated using tensor networks. (b) In the general case, however, the need for exponential classical resources seems unavoidable, hence it is crucial to also develop efficient quantum algorithms. Beyond the much-studied dynamic simulation, one of the most important problems to solve is the efficient preparation of physically relevant quantum states on a quantum computer.
