| contents | Quantum simulation is a central application of near-term quantum devices, pursued in both analog and digital architectures. A key challenge for both paradigms is the effect of imperfections and noise on predictive power. In this work, we present a rigorous and physically transparent comparison of the stability of digital and analog quantum simulators under a variety of perturbative noise models. We provide rigorous worst- and average-case error bounds for noisy quantum simulation of local observables. We find that the two paradigms show comparable scaling in the worst case, while exhibiting different forms of enhanced error cancellation on average. We further analyze Gaussian and Brownian noise processes, deriving concentration bounds that capture typical deviations beyond worst-case guarantees. These results provide a unified framework for quantifying the robustness of noisy quantum simulations and identify regimes where digital methods have intrinsic advantages and when we can see similar behavior. |
