Variational Wavefunctions for Non-compact U(1) Lattice Gauge Theory: Comparison with Exact Result

D O'Shaughnessy, Conrad J. Burden

Estimates of the ground state wavefunction of (2+ 1 )-dimensional non-compact U (1) Hamiltonian lattice gauge theory are found in terms of variational wavefunctions with up to four parameters. These wavefunctions are compared with the exact ground state as a test of the accuracy of the method.

Efficient truncations of SU ( N c ) lattice gauge theory for quantum simulation

Anthony N. Ciavarella, Iván Mauricio Burbano, C. Bauer

Quantum simulations of lattice gauge theories offer the potential to directly study the nonperturbative dynamics of quantum chromodynamics, but naive analyses suggest that they require large computational resources. Large N c expansions are performed to order 1 / N c to simplify the Hamiltonian of pure SU ( N c ) lattice gauge theories. A reformulation of the electric basis is introduced with a truncation strategy based on the construction of local Krylov subspaces with plaquette operators. Numerical simulations show that these truncated Hamiltonians are consistent with traditional lattice calculations at relatively small couplings. It is shown that the computational resources required for quantum simulation of time evolution generated by these Hamiltonians is 17–19 orders of magnitude smaller than previous approaches, provided that the truncations in this work can reach lattice spacings in three-dimensional simulations comparable to the two-dimensional simulations performed.

A new basis for Hamiltonian SU(2) simulations

C. Bauer, Irian D’Andrea, Marat Freytsis +1 more

Due to rapidly improving quantum computing hardware, Hamiltonian simulations of relativistic lattice field theories have seen a resurgence of attention. This computational tool requires turning the formally infinite-dimensional Hilbert space of the full theory into a finite-dimensional one. For gauge theories, a widely-used basis for the Hilbert space relies on the representations induced by the underlying gauge group, with a truncation that keeps only a set of the lowest dimensional representations. This works well at large bare gauge coupling, but becomes less efficient at small coupling, which is required for the continuum limit of the lattice theory. In this work, we develop a new basis suitable for the simulation of an SU(2) lattice gauge theory in the maximal tree gauge. In particular, we show how to perform a Hamiltonian truncation so that the eigenvalues of both the magnetic and electric gauge-fixed Hamiltonian are mostly preserved, which allows for this basis to be used at all values of the coupling. Little prior knowledge is assumed, so this may also be used as an introduction to the subject of Hamiltonian formulations of lattice gauge theories.
