Experimental Demonstration of Quantum Tunneling in IBM Quantum Computer

Abstract

Quantum computers are the promising candidates for simulation of large quantum systems, which is a daunting task to perform in a classical computer. Here, we report the experimental realization of quantum tunneling of a single particle through different types of potential barriers by performing digital quantum simulations using IBM quantum computers. We consider two and three-qubit systems to visualize the tunneling process and illustrate its unique quantum nature. We observe the tunneling and oscillations of the particles in a step-well, double-well, and multi-well potentials through our experimental results. One may extend the proposed quantum circuits and simulation techniques used here for observing the tunneling phenomena for multi-particle systems in different potentials.
