The pith

Trotterized constant-depth circuits allow extraction of multiple Ising model eigenenergies on IBM quantum computers.

A machine-rendered reading of the paper's core claim, the machinery that carries it, and where it could break.

The paper shows how to use the Hadamard test with Trotterized evolution operators to pull out both ground and excited state energies from Ising models on current quantum hardware. For the transverse field Ising model, the circuits stay at constant depth no matter how long the evolution time, which lets them run on systems with up to six spins and still see many energy levels above the noise. The same idea works for the three-spin case of the transverse longitudinal field Ising model after circuit synthesis. The authors also explain steps to reduce the effects of hardware noise and Fourier transform discretization so the extracted numbers are more trustworthy. This matters because constant depth removes a major barrier to scaling quantum simulations of spin systems.

Core claim

By implementing the Hadamard test with Trotterized time-evolution operators, the authors extract ground- and excited-state energies of the TFIM and TLFIM on IBM quantum computers. The TFIM admits constant-depth circuits for arbitrary time, enabling location of a large number of eigen-energies for up to six spins. For the three-spin TLFIM, circuit synthesis yields constant-depth structure, allowing extraction of the ground and first-excited state energies from its dynamics. Complications from noise and discrete Fourier transform are addressed to improve reliability.

What carries the argument

The Hadamard test applied to Trotterized time-evolution operators that support constant-depth circuits for the transverse field Ising model.

If this is right

  • A large number of eigen-energies can be located above background noise for TFIM systems up to six spins.
  • Ground and first-excited state energies can be extracted for the three-site TLFIM via its dynamics.
  • The constant-depth property holds for TFIM at arbitrary evolution times.
  • Extraction reliability improves when noise and discrete Fourier transform complications are addressed.
  • Newer generations of IBM hardware yield better results than older ones.

Where Pith is reading between the lines

These are editorial extensions of the paper, not claims the author makes directly.

  • If constant-depth Trotter structures can be found or synthesized for other Hamiltonians, the method could apply beyond the two Ising variants studied here.
  • The fixed depth might allow repeated measurements on the same hardware without accumulating extra gate errors as system size grows modestly.
  • Comparing the extracted spectra across different hardware generations suggests that further noise reduction could increase the number of reliably resolved states.
  • The approach could be checked on non-Ising models that admit similar constant-depth decompositions to test generality.

Load-bearing premise

That the noisy background and discrete Fourier transform effects can be mitigated enough for the extracted energies to be reliable.

What would settle it

If the energy values obtained from the Fourier peaks of the Hadamard test signals do not match the analytically known eigenvalues of the TFIM or TLFIM within the hardware's error bars for small systems.

We implement the Hadamard test with Trotterized time-evolution operators on IBM quantum computers to simultaneously extract ground- and excited-state energies of the transverse field Ising model (TFIM) and transverse longitudinal field Ising model (TLFIM). The Trotterization circuits for the TFIM admit constant-depth circuits (CDCs) for arbitrary time, allowing us to locate a large number of eigen-energies above the background noise for up to six spins. Via circuit synthesis we show that the three-spin TLFIM has constant-depth structure although it does not meet the known CDC criteria. The CDCs enable the extraction of the ground and first-excited state energies of the three-site TLFIM via its dynamics. We also address complications from the noisy background and discrete Fourier transform to enhance the reliability of the extraction process and compare the results from different generations of IBM hardware to highlight the improvement.

Referee Report

2 major / 2 minor

Summary. The manuscript reports an experimental demonstration of the Hadamard test combined with Trotterized time-evolution operators executed on IBM quantum hardware. The goal is simultaneous extraction of ground- and excited-state energies for the transverse-field Ising model (TFIM) and transverse-longitudinal-field Ising model (TLFIM). Constant-depth circuits (CDCs) are identified for the TFIM (arbitrary time, up to N=6) and, via synthesis, for the three-spin TLFIM; the authors state that these enable location of multiple eigenenergies above background after addressing noisy-background and discrete-Fourier-transform artifacts, with comparisons across hardware generations.

Significance. If the reported energy extractions are shown to be reliable (i.e., peaks are demonstrably separated from hardware noise and DFT artifacts), the work would constitute a concrete experimental advance in using quantum dynamics for multi-eigenenergy extraction on NISQ devices. The identification of CDCs for both models and the hardware-generation comparison are positive features that could be cited in future studies of Trotter-based spectroscopy.

major comments (2)
  1. [Abstract / results section] The central claim (abstract and § on results) that “a large number of eigen-energies” can be located above background for N=6 TFIM and that ground plus first-excited states are extracted for the 3-site TLFIM rests on the effectiveness of the noise-background and DFT mitigation steps. No quantitative metrics (peak widths, signal-to-noise ratios, comparison to exact diagonalization, or error bars) are referenced in the abstract; without these, it is impossible to verify that residual decoherence or aliasing does not broaden peaks sufficiently to undermine the multi-energy claim.
  2. [Methods / data-analysis subsection] The manuscript states that complications from the noisy background and discrete Fourier transform are addressed, yet the load-bearing mitigation procedure (filtering, windowing, or post-processing) is not described with sufficient algorithmic detail or pseudocode to allow reproduction or independent assessment of whether the extracted energies are free of circular fitting artifacts.
minor comments (2)
  1. [CDC construction] Notation for the constant-depth circuit construction should be clarified (e.g., explicit gate counts or depth scaling with N and t).
  2. [Figures] Figure captions should include the number of shots, Trotter steps, and exact hardware device used for each data set.

  1. Referee: [Abstract / results section] The central claim (abstract and § on results) that “a large number of eigen-energies” can be located above background for N=6 TFIM and that ground plus first-excited states are extracted for the 3-site TLFIM rests on the effectiveness of the noise-background and DFT mitigation steps.

    Authors: We agree that the abstract would benefit from explicit reference to quantitative metrics to support the central claims. The results section already contains comparisons to exact diagonalization, peak-width estimates, signal-to-noise ratios, and error bars derived from hardware runs; these will now be summarized in the abstract as well. This change will make the reliability of the extracted energies clearer without altering the underlying data or conclusions. revision: yes

  2. Referee: [Methods / data-analysis subsection] The manuscript states that complications from the noisy background and discrete Fourier transform are addressed, yet the load-bearing mitigation procedure (filtering, windowing, or post-processing) is not described with sufficient algorithmic detail or pseudocode to allow reproduction or independent assessment of whether the extracted energies are free of circular fitting artifacts.

    Authors: We acknowledge that the current description of the background-subtraction and DFT-mitigation steps lacks the algorithmic detail needed for full reproducibility. In the revised manuscript we will expand the methods subsection to include a precise step-by-step account of the filtering, windowing, and post-processing pipeline together with pseudocode for the key operations. This will allow independent verification that the reported energies are free of the artifacts mentioned. revision: yes

Circularity Check

0 steps flagged

No circularity: experimental hardware demonstration with independent validation

full rationale

The paper reports an experimental implementation of Hadamard-test circuits with Trotterized evolution on IBM quantum processors to extract TFIM and TLFIM eigenenergies. All load-bearing steps (circuit construction, hardware execution, DFT post-processing, and noise mitigation) are performed on physical devices and compared across hardware generations; none reduce by definition or self-citation to quantities fitted from the same dataset. The abstract and described methods contain no self-definitional loops, fitted-input predictions, or load-bearing self-citations. The work is therefore self-contained against external hardware benchmarks.
