This could catalyze adoption of quantum simulation for short-time dynamics in materials science, as error mitigation proves sufficient to extract physically meaningful results on near-term devices.
The Floquet Ising model captures key phenomena in driven quantum systems; demonstrating that error-mitigated noisy hardware can reproduce exact dynamics where classical methods struggle suggests that similar techniques may apply to other models of immediate interest in condensed matter physics.
