Abstract:

The talk focuses on recent developments in quantum simulation in theory-experiment collaborations at IQOQI Innsbruck. We will discuss two topics: self-verifying variational quantum simulation of lattice models on a trapped ion platform; and measurement protocols employing statistical correlations between randomized measurements to measure Renyi entropies, and cross-platform verification of quantum computers and quantum simulators.
