As quantum-computation devices are currently under development, but have only a small number of qubits, it is interesting to ask whether one can emulate gate-based quantum computations for certain simple cases using a classical computer. Often, approaches based on exact diagonalizations and a complete representation of the states are used, which severely restrict the number of emulated qubits. Here, we use matrix-product states, which allow for the treatment of significantly more qubits. We implement the time evolution of a many-body Hamiltonian in this setup by formulating the Trotter decomposition via universal gates. The matrix-product operators of these gates are represented as finite-states machines. This allows us to test the reliability of the implemented emulator by comparing time evolutions to exact results.
