Abstract
This paper offers a brief introduction to optimal protocols for variational quantum algorithms on the XXZ model on the square lattice, aimed at introducing the subfield to undergraduate students interested in theoretical quantum computing, especially those involved in similar research projects. I’ve tried to minimize jargon to make it more accessible to student researchers, but it still requires some math background. By simulating the most efficient ways to reach the ground state, future researchers can find patterns that could shed light on how to run large simulations on quantum computers.
