Systematic input scheme for many-boson Hamiltonians with applications to the two-dimensional ϕ 4 theory

Weijie Du, James P. Vary

We develop a novel, systematic input scheme for many-boson Hamiltonians in order to solve field theory problems within the light-front Hamiltonian formalism via quantum computing. We present our discussion of this input scheme based on the light-front Hamiltonian of the two-dimensional ${\ensuremath{\phi}}^{4}$ theory. In our input scheme, we employ a set of quantum registers, where each register encodes the occupation of a distinct boson mode as binaries. We squeeze the boson operators of each mode and present the Hamiltonian in terms of unique combinations of the squeezed-boson operators. We design the circuit modules for these unique combinations. Based on these circuit modules, we block encode the many-boson Hamiltonian utilizing the idea of quantum walk. For demonstration purposes, we present the spectral calculations of the Hamiltonian utilizing the hybrid quantum-classical symmetry-adapted quantum Krylov subspace diagonalization algorithm based on our input scheme, where the quantum computations are performed with the IBM qiskit quantum simulator. The results of the hybrid calculations agree with exact results. We can incorporate the input scheme in this work with the input scheme for many-fermion Hamiltonians; they jointly offer new pathways to solving the structure and dynamics of more general field theory problems on future fault-tolerant quantum computers.

Simulating hadronic physics on noisy intermediate-scale quantum devices using basis light-front quantization

Michael Kreshchuk, Shaoyang Jia, William M. Kirby +3 more

The analogy between quantum chemistry and light-front quantum field theory, first noted by Wilson, serves as motivation to develop light-front quantum simulation of quantum field theory. We demonstrate how calculations of hadron structure can be performed on noisy intermediate-scale quantum devices within the basis light-front quantization (BLFQ) framework. Within BLFQ, relativistic quantum field theories take a form that permits direct application of methods for digital quantum simulation of quantum chemistry, which can be readily scaled into the quantum advantage regime. We calculate the light-front wave functions of pions using an effective light-front Hamiltonian in a basis representation on a current quantum processor. We use the variational quantum eigensolver to find the ground-state energy and the corresponding wave function, which is subsequently used to calculate pion mass radius, decay constant, elastic form factor, and charge radius.

Ladder Operator Block-Encoding

William Simon, Carter M. Gustin, Kamil Serafin +3 more

We describe and analyze LOBE (Ladder Operator Block-Encoding), a framework for block-encoding ladder operators that act upon fermionic and bosonic modes. In this framework, we achieve efficient block-encodings by applying the desired action of the operator onto the quantum state and pushing any undesired effects outside of the encoded subspace. This direct approach avoids any overhead caused by expanding the operators in another basis. We numerically benchmark these constructions using models arising in quantum field theories including the quartic harmonic oscillator, and ϕ 4 and Yukawa Hamiltonians on the light front. These benchmarks show that LOBE often produces block-encodings with fewer non-Clifford operations, fewer block-encoding ancillae and overall number of qubits, and lower rescaling factors for various operators as compared to frameworks that expand the ladder operators in the Pauli basis. LOBE constructions also demonstrate favorable scaling with respect to key parameters, including the maximum occupation of bosonic modes, the total number of fermionic and bosonic modes, and the locality of the operators. LOBE is implemented as an open-source python package to enable further applications.
