Approximation based on perturbation theory is the foundation for most of the quantitative predictions of quantum mechanics with broad applications in quantum many-body physics. Quantum computing provides an alternative to the perturbation paradigm. In this talk, I will introduce a perturbative approach which combines the complementary strengths of the two approaches, enabling the simulation of large quantum systems using fewer quantum resources. The use of a quantum processor alleviates the need to identify a solvable unperturbed Hamiltonian, while the introduction of perturbative coupling permits a quantum processor to simulate systems with larger sizes. I will present an explicit perturbative expansion that mimics the Dyson series expansion and involves only local unitary operations. I will then discuss its optimality over other expansions under certain conditions. This perturbative approach is benchmarked by simulating the interacting dynamics of representative quantum systems.
