  An adiabatic state preparation technique, called the adiabatic spiral, is
proposed for the Heisenberg model. This technique is suitable for
implementation on a number of quantum simulation platforms such as Rydberg
atoms, trapped ions, or superconducting qubits. Classical simulations of small
systems suggest that it can be successfully implemented in the near future. A
comparison to Trotterized time evolution is performed and it is shown that the
adiabatic spiral is able to outperform Trotterized adiabatics.
