Description

In this talk, I present my recent work on applying ADAPT-VQE to (2+1)-dimensional fermionic systems. Scalable variants of ADAPT-VQE have recently been applied to (1+1)-dimensional lattice field theories. However, these approaches often become trapped in excited states unless symmetry-informed operator pools are employed. I demonstrate how symmetry-informed operator pools help to avoid this issue in a (2+1)-dimensional system of Wilson fermions.
