  • Abstract

    We study the Néel quench dynamics of a 1D Fermi-Hubbard model which has recently been simulated on quantum hardware. We demonstrate that the set of 7260 observable trajectories measured in the quantum experiment can be obtained more quickly and accurately through classical tensor network simulation using modest computation. Our result relies on transverse tensor network contraction, where a bond dimension of 32 is already sufficient to reproduce the quantum experiment. We further extend the converged observable trajectories to longer times than in the hardware simulation and in other recent classical simulations.
