A Compact Fermion to Qubit Mapping (2003.06939v2)
Published 15 Mar 2020 in quant-ph
Abstract: Mappings between fermions and qubits are valuable constructions in physics. To date only a handful exist. In addition to revealing dualities between fermionic and spin systems, such mappings are indispensable in any quantum simulation of fermionic physics on quantum computers. The number of qubits required per fermionic mode, and the locality of mapped fermionic operators strongly impact the cost of such simulations. We present a novel fermion to qubit mapping which outperforms all previous local mappings in both the qubit to mode ratio, and the locality of mapped operators.
