abstract
A recent quantum simulation of observables of the kicked Ising model on 127 qubits implemented circuits that exceed the capabilities of exact classical simulation. We show that several approximate classical methods, based on sparse Pauli dynamics and tensor network algorithms, can simulate these observables orders of magnitude faster than the quantum experiment, and can also be systematically converged beyond the experimental accuracy. Our most accurate technique combines a mixed Schr\"{o}dinger and Heisenberg tensor network representation with the Bethe free entropy relation of belief propagation to compute expectation values with an effective wavefunction-operator sandwich bond dimension >16,000,000, achieving an absolute accuracy, without extrapolation, in the observables of <0.01, which is converged for many practical purposes. We thereby identify inaccuracies in the experimental extrapolations and suggest how future experiments can be implemented to increase the classical hardness.

Systematic numerical study of QAOA parameter transfer on heavy-hex Ising models with local cubic terms shows transferred angles from small instances yield improving expectation values up to 49 layers on instances up to 156 qubits, with hardware runs confirming gains up to p=10.
Classical solvers solve random Ising models on heavy-hex graphs efficiently, with Gurobi showing linear or weakly quadratic scaling up to 100k variables and simulated annealing showing exponential time-to-solution without cubic terms.
