Abstract
Analog quantum simulation is widely considered a step on the path to fault tolerant quantum computation. If based on current noisy hardware, the accuracy of an analog simulator will degrade after just a few time steps, especially when simulating complex systems that are likely to exhibit quantum chaos. Here we describe a small, highly accurate quantum simulator and its use to run high fidelity simulations of three different model Hamiltonians for time steps. While not scalable to exponentially large Hilbert spaces, this platform provides the accuracy and programmability required for systematic exploration of the interplay between dynamics, imperfections, and accuracy in quantum simulation.
