Description

The state of the art of Suzuki-Trotter and other time evolution methods is reviewed, focussing especially on the progress made over the last few years. A central part of this talk is the estimation of error bounds that has improved greatly within less than a decade. Moreover, a comprehensive overview of generalisations, related methods and alternatives to Trotterization is provided. Depending on the audience's interest, this can include time-dependent Hamiltonian dynamics, processed methods, multi-product formulae, symplectic integrators, TDVP for tensor networks, quantum circuit optimisation, Crouch-Grossman methods and more.
