Variational Quantum states for Eigenstate Thermalization Hypothesis violation in the NISQ-era

Sumario:The eigenstate thermalisation hypothesis applies to most quantum states, suggest- ing that information about the initial state becomes generally indiscernible as the system evolves. However, certain exceptional states, like many-body localized states and quantum scars, chal- lenge this hypothesis. This thesis focuses on quantum many-body scars, which are distinctive states that exhibits characteristics such as low entanglement and the resurgence of specific prop- erties. Notably, quantum many-body scars were observed in the laboratory perfoming dynamics on Rydberg arrays. To investigate these states, we propose the implementation of a variational technique using a parameterized quantum circuit on a near-term intermediate-scale quantum device, with the goal of facilitating their exploration and analysis.
