Abstract

With the basic content of this thesis being simulations of quantum spin-1/2 systems, we start introducing the underlying concepts and properties of those and of quantum mechanics in general. Clarifying the basics, we provide a starting point to perform approximate simulations of these computationally unfeasible problems.
