Interacting bosons attract broad interest from different fields of physics and is often challenging to simulate on a classical computer. The recent advances in variational-quantum-eigensolver (VQE) algorithms offer a new and scalable way to investigate these interacting boson systems with noisy intermediate scale quantum (NISQ) devices. In this work, we present a proof-of-principle experiment of a boson VQE algorithm implemented on Rigetti's 8Q-device. Our experiment determines the low-energy eigenspectrum of the Rabi model -- a simple boson model with interactions mediated by an atom. Our result illustrates the promising future of scalable quantum simulation of interacting bosons using NISQ devices.
