Abstract

A quantum algorithm to simulate the real time dynamics of two-flavor massive Gross-Neveu model is presented in Schrodinger picture. We implement the simulation on a classic computer by applying the matrix product state representation. The real time evolutions of up to four particles on a site in initial state are figured out in space-time coordinate. The state evolutions are effectively affected by fermion mass and coupling constant of the model. Especially when the mass of fermion is small enough and the coupling is strong enough, the fundamental fermions evolve synchronistically in space from the two-fermion and four-fermion initial states. These are also the conditions on which the bound states made up of fundamental fermion pairs were found to arise automatically in the literatures.

Quantum simulation of massive Thirring and Gross--Neveu models for arbitrary number of flavors

Bojko N. Bakalov, Joao C. Getelina, Raghav G. Jha +2 more

The study of fermionic quantum field theories is an important problem for realizing the standard model of particle physics on a quantum computer. As a step towards this goal, we consider the massive Thirring and Gross--Neveu models with arbitrary number of fermion flavors, $N_f$, discretized on a spatial one-dimensional lattice of size $L$ in the Hamiltonian formulation. We compute the gate complexity using the higher-order product formula and using block-encoding/qubitization and quantum singular value transformations in the limit of large $N_f$ and $L$. We also prepare the ground states of both models with excellent fidelity for system sizes up to 20 qubits with $N_f = 1,2,3,4$ using the adaptive-variational quantum imaginary time algorithm. In addition, we also classify the dynamical Lie algebras of these relativistic fermionic models and show that they belong to the same isomorphism class. Our work is a concrete step towards the quantum simulation of real-time dynamics of large $N_f$ fermionic quantum field theories models relevant for chiral symmetry breaking, understanding dimensional transmutation, and exploring the conformal window of field theories on near-term and early fault-tolerant quantum computers.

Faster quantum algorithm to simulate fermionic quantum field theory

Ali Hamed Moosavian, Stephen P. Jordan

In quantum algorithms discovered so far for simulating scattering processes in quantum field theories, state preparation is the slowest step. We present an algorithm for preparing particle states to use in simulation of fermionic quantum field theory (QFT) on a quantum computer, which is based on the matrix product state ansatz. We apply this to the massive Gross-Neveu model in one spatial dimension to illustrate the algorithm, but we believe the same algorithm with slight modifications can be used to simulate any one-dimensional massive fermionic QFT. In the case where the number of particle species is 1, our algorithm can prepare particle states using $O\left({\ensuremath{\epsilon}}^{\ensuremath{-}3.23...}\right)$ gates, which is much faster than previous known results, namely, $O\left({\ensuremath{\epsilon}}^{\ensuremath{-}8\ensuremath{-}o\left(1\right)}\right)$. Furthermore, unlike previous methods which were based on adiabatic state preparation, the method given here should be able to simulate quantum phases unconnected to the free theory.

Matrix Product States for Gauge Field Theories

Boye Buyens, Jutho Haegeman, Karel Van Acoleyen +2 more

The matrix product state formalism is used to simulate Hamiltonian lattice gauge theories. To this end, we define matrix product state manifolds which are manifestly gauge invariant. As an application, we study (1+1)-dimensional one flavor quantum electrodynamics, also known as the massive Schwinger model, and are able to determine very accurately the ground-state properties and elementary one-particle excitations in the continuum limit. In particular, a novel particle excitation in the form of a heavy vector boson is uncovered, compatible with the strong coupling expansion in the continuum. We also study full quantum nonequilibrium dynamics by simulating the real-time evolution of the system induced by a quench in the form of a uniform background electric field.

Quantum simulation of the N -flavor Gross-Neveu model

Muhammad Asaduzzaman, Goksu Can Toga, Simon M. Catterall +2 more

We discuss the use of quantum simulation to study an $N$-flavor theory of interacting relativistic fermions in ($1+1$) dimensions on noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ)-era machines. The case of two flavors is particularly interesting as it can be mapped to the Hubbard model. We derive the appropriate qubit Hamiltonians and associated quantum circuits. We compare classical simulation and density matrix renormalization group/time-evolving blocked decimation calculations with the results of quantum simulation on various platforms for $N=2$ and 4-flavors. We demonstrate that the four steps needed for calculations of real-time scattering can be implemented using current NISQ devices.

Matrix product decomposition for two- and three-flavor Wilson fermions: Benchmark results in the lattice Gross-Neveu model at finite density

Shinichiro Akiyama

We formulate the path integral of two- and three-flavor Wilson fermion in two dimensions as a multilayer Grassmann tensor network by the matrix product decomposition. Thanks to this new description, the memory cost scaling is reduced from $\mathrm{O}({\mathrm{e}}^{{N}_{f}})$ for the conventional construction to $\mathrm{O}({N}_{f})$. Based on this representation, we develop a coarse-graining algorithm where spatially or temporally adjacent Grassmann tensors are converted into a canonical form along a virtual direction before we carry out the spacetime coarse-graining. Benchmarking with the lattice Gross-Neveu model at finite density, we see that the Silver Blaze phenomenon in the pressure and number density is captured with relatively small bond dimensions.
