Quantum simulation of quantum field theories as quantum chemistry
arXiv:2004.13234 · doi:10.1007/JHEP12(2020)011
Abstract
Conformal truncation is a powerful numerical method for solving generic strongly-coupled quantum field theories based on purely field-theoretic technics without introducing lattice regularization. We discuss possible speedups for performing those computations using quantum devices, with the help of near-term and future quantum algorithms. We show that this construction is very similar to quantum simulation problems appearing in quantum chemistry (which are widely investigated in quantum information science), and the renormalization group theory provides a field theory interpretation of conformal truncation simulation. Taking two-dimensional Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) as an example, we give various explicit calculations of variational and digital quantum simulations in the level of theories, classical trials, or quantum simulators from IBM, including adiabatic state preparation, variational quantum eigensolver, imaginary time evolution, and quantum Lanczos algorithm. Our work shows that quantum computation could not only help us understand fundamental physics in the lattice approximation, but also simulate quantum field theory methods directly, which are widely used in particle and nuclear physics, sharpening the statement of the quantum Church-Turing Thesis.
