Conclusion
This study develops a concrete near-term quantum algorithm for Hamiltonian learning and demonstrates its effectiveness. In particular, we show that learning the spectrum of Hamiltonians during the learning process could produce high-precision estimates of the target interaction coefficients. Our work may have applications in quantum device certification, quantum simulation, and quantum machine learning.
