Preparing the eigenstate, especially the ground state, of a complex Hamiltonian is of great importance in quantum simulations. Many proposals have been introduced and experimentally realized, among which are quantum variational eigensolver and heat-bath algorithmic cooling, with the former hindered by local minima and the latter lacking of...

Quantum measurements cannot be thought of as revealing preexisting results, even when they do not disturb any other measurement in the same trial. This feature is called contextuality and is crucial for the quantum advantage in computing. Here, we report the observation of quantum contextuality simultaneously free of the detection, sharpness,...
