Experimental Demonstration of Force Driven Quantum Harmonic Oscillator in IBM Quantum Computer

Abstract

Though algorithms for quantum simulation of Quantum Harmonic Oscillator (QHO) have been proposed, still they have not yet been experimentally verified. Here, for the first time, we demonstrate a quantum simulation of QHO in the presence of both time-varying and constant force field for both one and two dimensional case. New quantum circuits are developed to simulate both the one and two-dimensional QHO and are implemented on the real quantum chip "ibmqx4". Experimental data, clearly illustrating the dynamics of QHO in the presence of time-dependent force field, are presented in graphs for different frequency parameters in the Hamiltonian picture.
