contents Understanding the dynamics of quantum systems is crucial in many areas of physics, but simulating many-body systems presents significant challenges due to the large Hilbert space to navigate and the exponential growth of computational overhead. Quantum computers offer a promising platform to overcome these challenges, particularly for simulating the time evolution with Hamiltonians. Trotterization is a widely used approach among available algorithms in this regard, and well suited for near-term quantum devices. However, it introduces algorithmic Trotter errors due to the non-commutativity of Hamiltonian components. Several techniques such as multi-product formulas have been developed to mitigate Trotter errors, but often require deep quantum circuits, which can introduce additional physical errors. In this work, we propose a resource-efficient scheme to reduce the algorithmic Trotter error with relatively shallow circuit depth. We develop a profiling method by introducing an auxiliary parameter to estimate the error effects in expectation values, enabling significant error suppression with a fixed number of Trotter steps. Our approach offers an efficient way of quantum simulation on near-term quantum processors with shallow circuits.
