contents Classical non-perturbative simulations of open quantum systems' dynamics face several scalability problems, namely, exponential scaling of the computational effort as a function of either the time length of the simulation or the size of the open system. In this work, we propose the use of the Time Evolving Density operator with Orthogonal Polynomials Algorithm (TEDOPA) on a quantum computer, which we term as Quantum TEDOPA (Q-TEDOPA), to simulate non-perturbative dynamics of open quantum systems linearly coupled to a bosonic environment (continuous phonon bath). By performing a change of basis of the Hamiltonian, the TEDOPA yields a chain of harmonic oscillators with only local nearest-neighbour interactions, making this algorithm suitable for implementation on quantum devices with limited qubit connectivity such as superconducting quantum processors. We analyse in detail the implementation of the TEDOPA on a quantum device and show that exponential scalings of computational resources can potentially be avoided for time-evolution simulations of the systems considered in this work. We applied the proposed method to the simulation of the exciton transport between two light-harvesting molecules in the regime of moderate coupling strength to a non-Markovian harmonic oscillator environment on an IBMQ device. Applications of the Q-TEDOPA span problems which can not be solved by perturbation techniques belonging to different areas, such as the dynamics of quantum biological systems and strongly correlated condensed matter systems.
