Adiabatic Quantum Simulation of the Topological Su--Schrieffer--Heeger--Hubbard Model

We develop an adiabatic quantum simulation framework on gate-based quantum computers to probe topological signatures of the one-dimensional fermionic Su–Schrieffer–Heeger–Hubbard (SSHH) model. We present explicit quantum-circuit constructions for initial-state preparation and time evolution, together with a practical measurement protocol and classical post-processing procedure for extracting the many-body Berry phase and the spatial profile of the sublattice polarization. Using classical simulations of the proposed circuits, we demonstrate – for the first time within a genuine many-body framework – that the topological characteristics of the SSH model remain robust against weak Hubbard interactions but eventually break down as the chiral-symmetry-breaking component of the interaction exceeds a threshold. The required qubit number, gate complexity, measurement shots, and classical pre- and post-processing costs all scale polynomially with system size. Our results provide a proof-of-concept framework for probing topological properties of interacting many-body systems via adiabatic quantum simulation on future large-scale quantum computers.
