Speci fically\, we would like to construct an example of\na practical problem th at is beyond the reach of classical computers\,\nbut that requires the few est possible resources to solve on a quantum\ncomputer. We address this pr oblem by considering quantum simulation of\nspin systems\, a task that cou ld be applied to understand phenomena in\n DTSTAMP:20250829T022552Z END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
