Abstract
Operators such as unitary operators common in quantum mechanical applications may be approximated by a Trotter-like approximation. An operator may be decomposed and terms of the operator may be grouped, or assigned into levels. The levels may be scaled and applied at unique intervals of calculational steps. A quantum device may have circuitry for applying levels of the operator at the unique intervals.
