Abstract

We use an n-spin system with permutation symmetric zz-interaction for simulating arbitrary pair-interaction Hamiltonians. The calculation of the required time overhead is mathematically equivalent to a separability problem of n-qubit density matrices. We derive lower and upper bounds in terms of chromatic index and the spectrum of the interaction graph. The complexity measure defined by such a computational model is related to gate complexity and a continuous complexity measure introduced in a former paper. We use majorization of graph spectra for classifying Hamiltonians with respect to their computational power.
