1.1 A comparison of the resources required to implement the dynamics of digital<br />

and analog simulation of quantum systems, using both classical and quantum<br />

simulation. We consider a system of n qubits simulated for a total time T. . 29<br />

1.2 A comparison of the resources required for digital and analog simulation of<br />

quantum systems, using both classical and quantum systems, and taking into<br />

account the precision obtained. We consider a system of n qubits simulated<br />

for a total time T. The error due to projection noise is denoted ǫ, while the<br />

fixed error of a classical analog computer is denoted ǫfix. . . . . . . . . . . . 33<br />
