ABSTRACT

With the development of quantum simulations, recent investigations provide an alternative way to explore the quantum world and a more advanced computational tool. A quantum system of many particles could be simulated by a quantum computer using several quantum bits similar to the number of particles in the original system. This paper aims to give a short history of quantum simulators by presenting the difference between AQS and DQS and introducing the three most popular quantum simulators. Though there are many difficulties to perform and control these quantum systems, scientists have already successfully simulated many crucial and complicated physics models with these simulators.
