Quantum Simulation of Dzyaloshinsky-Moriya Interaction V. S. Manu and Anil Kumar Centre for Quantum Information and Quantum Computing, Department of Physics and NMR Research Centre, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore-560012 Quantum simulation of a Hamiltonian H requires unitary operator decomposition (UOD) of its evolution operator, (U = exp(−iHt) ) in terms of experimentally preferable unitaries. Here, using Genetic Algorithm optimization, we numerically evaluate the most generic UOD for the Hamiltonian, DM interaction in the presence of Heisenberg XY interaction, H DH . Using these decompositions, we studied the entanglement dynamics of Bell state in the Hamiltonian H DH and verified the entanglement preservation procedure by Hou et al.[1]. References: 1. Y.C.
