Toward Nuclear Physics from Lattice QCD on Quantum Computers

Arata Yamamoto, Takumi Doi

Abstract One of the ultimate missions of lattice quantum chromodynamics (QCD) is to simulate atomic nuclei from the first principles of the strong interaction. This is an extremely hard task for current computational technology, but might be reachable in the coming quantum computing era. In this paper, we discuss the computational complexities of classical and quantum simulations of lattice QCD. It is shown that the quantum simulation scales better as a function of nucleon number and thus will outperform classical simulation for large nuclei.

Toward dense QCD in quantum computers

Arata Yamamoto

Lattice QCD at nonzero baryon density is a big challenge in hadron physics. In this presentation, I discuss the quantum computation of lattice gauge theory at nonzero density. I show some benchmark results of the Schwinger model obtained by the quantum adiabatic algorithm and the quantum variational algorithm.

Large Nc Truncations for SU(Nc) Lattice Yang-Mills Theory with Fermions

Neel S. Modi, Anthony N. Ciavarella, Jad C. Halimeh +1 more

Quantum simulations of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) require a representation of gauge fields and fermions on the finitely many degrees of freedom available on a quantum computer. We introduce a truncation of lattice QCD coupled to staggered fermions that includes (i) a local Krylov truncation that generates allowed basis states; (ii) a maximum allowed electric energy per link; (iii) a limit on the number of fermions per site; and (iv) a truncation in the large N_c scaling of Hamiltonian matrix elements. Explicit truncated Hamiltonians for 1+1D and 2+1D lattices are given, and numerical simulations of string-breaking dynamics are performed.

Tensor lattice field theory for renormalization and quantum computing

Yannick Meurice, Ryo Sakai, Judah Unmuth-Yockey

One goal in understanding quantum chromodynamics (QCD) includes solving how quarks and gluons combine to form the hadrons and nuclei seen in nature. With lattice QCD, progress has been made regarding the calculation of masses and couplings. However, the real-time evolution and the critical behavior at finite density of strong particles in colliders, stars, or after the big bang remain a challenging problem despite their potential to detect the existence of new physics. The tensor methods for lattice field theories provide a route to handle strongly correlated systems across different subfields using renormalization group methods or quantum computing.
