Title. Quantum many-body computation on a small quantum computer
Abstract. What can we do on a small scale near-term noisy quantum computer with O(10) qubits? We propose a variational scheme to study ground state properties of quantum many-body systems with fewer qubits. Studying ground state of quantum magnets and quantum chemistry problems in this way will be one of few killer applications of a near-term quantum computer.
