contents This work introduces a novel NISQ-friendly procedure for estimating spectral gaps in quantum systems. By leveraging Adiabatic Thermalization, we are able to create the Spectral Gap Superposition state, a newly defined quantum state exhibiting observable fluctuations in time that allow for the accurate estimation of any energy gap. Our method is tested by estimating the energy gap between the ground and the first excited state for the 1D and 2D Ising model, the Hydrogen molecule H2 and Helium molecule He2. Despite limiting our circuit design to have at most 40 Trotter steps, our numerical experiments of both noiseless and noisy devices for the presented systems give relative errors in the order of $10^{-2}$ and $10^{-1}$. Further experiments on the IonQ Aria device lead to spectral gap estimations with a relative error of $10^{-2}$ for a 4-site Ising chain, demonstrating the validity of the procedure for NISQ devices and charting a path towards a new way of calculating energy gaps.
