TL;DR: Here, a quantum simulator composed of up to 53 qubits is used to study non-equilibrium dynamics in the transverse-field Ising model with long-range interactions, enabling the dynamical phase transition to be probed directly and revealing computationally intractable features that rely on the long- range interactions and high connectivity between qubits.

TL;DR: This work applies a variational quantum algorithm (QAOA) to approximate the ground-state energy of a long-range Ising model, both quantum and classical, and investigates the algorithm performance on a trapped-ion quantum simulator, observing that the QAOA performance does not degrade significantly as the authors scale up the system size and that the runtime is approximately independent from the number of qubits.

TL;DR: In this article, a segmented-blade ion trap enclosed in a 4 K cryostat was used to trap and hold over 100 171Yb+ ions for hours in a linear configuration.

TL;DR: In this paper, the first observation of magnetic domain wall confinement in interacting spin chains with a trapped-ion quantum simulator is reported, which demonstrates the capability of quantum simulators for investigating exotic high-energy physics phenomena, such as quark collision and string breaking.

TL;DR: In this article, a linear array of trapped and laser-cooled atomic ions is used for studying strongly interacting many-body quantum systems, where effective spins are encoded in long-lived electronic leve...
