Fig. 1. Schematic depiction of our error model for analog quantum simulator.

A target Lindbladian $\mathcal{L}$, expressed as sum of Lindbladian terms modeling interactions between groups of spins, when implemented on an analog quantum simulator would have an hardware error per qubit—this error can either be due to an incorrect configuration of the Lindbladian (i.e., implementing ${\mathcal{L}}_{\alpha }^{\prime }$ instead of ${\mathcal{L}}_{\alpha }$) or due to interaction with an external decohering environment.
