Recently, the first measurement-based variational quantum simulation has been proposed, which employs a one-way quantum computation instead of a quantum circuit for the simulation. This shifts the experimental challenge of complex gate realizations to the generation of a entangled cluster state which is then locally measured. In our work, we developed a variational one-way quantum computing simulation protocol for the multi-flavor lattice Schwinger model with a flavor-dependent chemical potential, considering model-specific symmetries in our quantum algorithm. The flavor-dependent chemical potential increases the model complexity but also allows us to investigate first-order energy phase transitions in dependence of the chemical potential. First classical simulation results of our protocol look very promising and allowed us to determine several critical points in the phase diagram.
