Transmon qutrit‑based simulation of spin‑1 AKLT systems

Summary: This work demonstrates the simulation of spin-1 AKLT systems using superconducting transmon qutrits. The experiment leverages higher energy levels to realize qutrit operations, enabling the study of quantum phases and entanglement in spin-1 chains. The results highlight the advantages of qutrit-based quantum hardware for simulating complex quantum systems.
