In recent years we have seen the birth of a new field known as Hamiltonian complexity lying at the crossroads between computer science and theoretical physics. Hamiltonian complexity is directly concerned with the question: how hard is it to simulate a physical system? Here I review the foundational results, guiding problems, and future directions of this emergent field.
近年来,我们见证了一个新领域的诞生,这个领域被称为哈密顿复杂性,它位于计算机科学和理论物理的交叉点上。哈密顿复杂性直接涉及到这样一个问题:模拟一个物理系统有多难?在这里,我回顾了这个新兴领域的基础成果、指导问题和未来方向。
