Using IBM-Q to study and visualize the ground state properties of the Su-Schrie.er-Heeger model

摘要

IBM has developed an API allowing users to build and execute quantum programs on their quantum computers built using superconducting circuits, ranging from 4 to 20 qubits. Using the SSH model as our system to study, we compare the accuracy of the ground state found classically to the ground state calculated by the variational quantum eigensolver. We also explore how varying parameters such as number of qubits, quantum depth and shots affected the accuracy of the algorithm.
