We demonstrate the results classically using tensor network simulations of the disordered Heisenberg model. The core elements of the algorithm were designed with quantum hardware in mind, and we propose a hybrid implementation suitable for near-term quantum devices.

In this work, with IBM Research and the STFC Hartree Centre, we've developed a new way of preparing excited states by combining the shift-invert process with imaginary time evolution. All we need to do is pick a target energy, and the algorithm will return the eigenstate closest to that target!

This is along the same lines as the mistake on my CV that for years said I had experience in "high performance computering". 🤦‍♂️

It certainly is on occasion, although my grievances at the moment are quite minor compared to yours - I'm mostly just losing patience over what I think are misleading straw man arguments.

Yeah, I had to send it off specially for that, as my uni only offered black by default but I really wanted blue for some reason I don't remember. 😅
