AbstractQuantum emulation uses a controllable quantum system to mimic a more complex quantum system that is otherwise intractable to solve using classical computers. It allows the exploration of complicated problems in condensed matter physics, high energy theory, and quantum chemistry, and can lead to applications in broad areas such as pharmaceutical research and finance. Despite experimental demonstration in various physical systems such as neutral atoms, trapped ions and superconducting devices, qua
