Quantum computing offers a promising approach to non-perturbative simulations of quantum field theories, particularly for real-time dynamics and systems affected by the sign problem. Yet translating continuum field theories into quantum computations remains a challenging interdisciplinary task. Here we introduce \texttt{Jianmu-Q}, a multi-agent framework that transforms natural-language descriptions of quantum field theories into quantum simulation workflows. Specialized agents handle theoretical formulation, lattice discretization, qubit mapping, and circuit design, while physical consistency checks and independent numerical calculations provide validation throughout the workflow. We benchmark the framework on three field theories of increasing complexity: the $(1+1)$-dimensional Nambu--Jona-Lasinio and Schwinger models, and a $(2+1)$-dimensional $\mathbb{Z}_2$ gauge theory. Across these systems, noiseless quantum-circuit simulations converge toward independent exact-diagonalization and tensor-network results, while selected circuits are executed on IBM quantum hardware, demonstrating an end-to-end, validation-guided approach to quantum simulation of field theories.

Specialized agents handle theoretical formulation, lattice discretization, qubit mapping, and circuit design, while physical consistency checks and independent numerical calculations provide validation throughout the workflow. We benchmark the framework on three field theories of increasing complexity: the (1+1)-dimensional Nambu--Jona-Lasinio and Schwinger models, and a (2+1)-dimensional Z2 gauge theory. Across these systems, noiseless quantum-circuit simulations converge toward independent exact-diagonalization and tensor-network results, while selected circuits are executed on IBM quantum hardware, demonstrating an end-to-end, validation-guided approach to quantum simulation of field theories.
Quantum simulation is central to understanding and designing quantum systems across physics and chemistry. Yet it has barriers to access from both computational complexity and computational perspectives, due to the exponential growth of Hilbert space and the complexity of modern software tools. Here we introduce{\cinzel El Agente Cuántico}, a multi-agent AI system that automates quantum-simulation workflows by translating natural-language scientific intent into executed and validated computations across heterogeneous quantum-software frameworks. By reasoning directly over library documentation and APIs, our agentic system dynamically assembles end-to-end simulations spanning state preparation, closed- and open-system dynamics, tensor-network methods, quantum control, quantum error correction, and quantum resource estimation. The developed system unifies traditionally distinct simulation paradigms behind a single natural-language interface. Beyond reducing technical barriers, this approach opens a path toward scalable, adaptive, and increasingly autonomous quantum simulation, enabling faster exploration of physical models, rapid hypothesis testing, and closer integration between theory, simulation, and emerging quantum hardware.

Matter under extreme conditions behaves as a non-equilibrium, strongly-interacting quantum system. Such systems are in the non-perturbative regime of quantum chromodynamics (QCD), where their time evolution is classically intractable. Quantum computing offers a promising alternative, but present-day devices are limited in qubit count and circuit depth, so efficient formulations and algorithms are key to scaling toward experimentally relevant QCD simulations. A scalable framework is established for simulating energy loss and hadronization in 1+1-dimensional SU(2) lattice gauge theory, in which a heavy quark traverses a lattice of light quarks. Classical lattice QCD methods are translated into physics-informed circuits to prepare the interacting ground state. The evolution is run on IBM's quantum processor ibm_pittsburgh, where the charge distribution and energy loss are measured. A further study develops the quantum simulation of the fully gauge-fixed SU(2) Hamiltonian in a mixed basis, a formulation that is expected to remain efficient at all gauge couplings. Digitizing the continuous gauge fields with as few as three qubits per plaquette reproduces low-energy observables with 10−3 precision. Scaling to larger systems is limited by resource overhead, which motivates truncations that preserve the relevant observables. Sequency Hierarchy Truncation (SeqHT) exploits the hierarchy in basis-operator contributions. Demonstrated on the adiabatic preparation of the λφ4 ground state on ibm_sherbrooke, SeqHT reduces circuit depth by ~30%, suppressing hardware noise in the extracted observables. All simulations in this dissertation are validated on quantum hardware against classical benchmarks. These studies advance quantum simulations of real-time QCD dynamics.
This is a proposal of a novel framework leveraging graph gauge theory to develop the Quantum Virtual Mind (QVM), a computational platform integrating classical and quantum algorithms to mimic human brain neural activity. The core hypothesis posits that an artificially trained quantum connectome can emulate neural patterns by mapping electromagnetic (EM) field distortions onto symmetry-breaking phenomena within a quantum computational framework. EM distortions, captured via Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) devices, characterize the quantum connectome and enable quantum simulations in the QVM, allowing real-time computation of an individual's emotional signatures, referred to as the Mental Stress Tensor (MST). This work bridges gauge theory, connectome studies, and neural networks to facilitate computation of agentic components in Multi-agent AI systems.
Quantum hardware advances now make it practical to explore quantum approaches to scientific problems. Applied quantum computing research sits at the intersection of domain knowledge, algorithms, theoretical physics, device physics, and quantum and classical computational methods. The breadth of expertise required and the inherent project complexity challenge not only any individual researcher, but also generic AI systems. Here, we introduce the Quantum Agentic Operating System (QAOS), a structured agentic research system designed to address this challenge for quantum and computational R&D projects. QAOS is built around a nonlinear workflow graph of heterogeneous multi-agent nodes, with a controlled flow of context and computational resources. It decomposes a complex research project into sandboxed multi-agent tasks executed under constraints from the project graph, task-relevant methodologies, and necessary verification steps. We demonstrate QAOS on a quantum chemistry prototyping task, in which it is asked to set up a minimal model for a proton-transfer problem and to implement its solution using sample-based quantum diagonalization (SQD), together with classical reference methods such as FCI (exact diagonalization) and density functional theory (DFT). We compare the QAOS solution to those obtained with baseline agents (Claude Sonnet 5 with the Claude Code harness). In contrast to QAOS, the baseline agents silently ignore explicit instructions, and the runs show large variability.
Quantum computing offers a paradigm shift in efficiently simulating quantum field theories (QFTs). In this review, we outline two new techniques for the simulation of QFTs on quantum devices. The first technique employs Hamiltonian Truncation (HT) for nonperturbative real-time QFT simulations on Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) devices. As a use case, we apply the HT approach to the Schwinger model. For the observables studied, HT avoids complex state preparation, reducing circuit depth and making the algorithm well suited for NISQ devices. Validated on the ibm_brisbane quantum computer with results showing good agreement with numerical simulations, HT presents an efficient alternative to lattice models. The second approach introduces a continuous-variable quantum computing (CVQC) framework for simulating the real-time dynamics of QFTs, where quantum field values are encoded directly into photonic qumodes. By avoiding the overhead of field digitization, CVQC enables scalable simulations using significantly fewer quantum resources than traditional qubit-based approaches. Classical emulation of the qumode lattice successfully reproduces scattering processes in [Formula: see text]-dimensional [Formula: see text] theory. Together, these methods demonstrate viable paths toward near-term quantum simulations of interacting field theories, offering complementary strategies to address challenges in nonperturbative studies in high-energy physics.
