Description

Continuing on with the Hamiltonian Field theories introduced in the previous lecture, we consider different ways of getting a finite-dimensional Hilbert space. We discuss the Schwinger model and how to simulate fermions with the Jordan-Wigner transformation, and finally we consider quantum link models and the application of both VQE/VQD and QAOA to find the ground state and first-excited state to an SO(3)-symmetric quantum link model.
