VQE research project to find the ground state of XXZ spin chain
Used a Variational Quantum Eigensolver (VQE) approach to compute ground-state properties of an XXZ spin chain. The work required setting up problem encodings, iteratively running optimization loops, and verifying whether the algorithm reached expected ground-state behavior. This reflects hands-on training in machine-learning-like optimization workflows applied to quantum simulation. • Configured VQE for the XXZ spin chain ground-state search. • Managed iterative parameter optimization cycles and monitored convergence. • Evaluated outcomes and adjusted settings based on experimental results. • Repeated simulation runs to improve stability and accuracy of findings.
