Four-loop scattering amplitudes journey into the forest

Abstract

We present an overview of the analysis of the multiloop topologies that appear for the first time at four loops and the assembly of them in a general expression, the N${}^4$MLT universal topology. Based on the fact that the Loop-Tree Duality enables to open any scattering amplitude in terms of convolutions of known subtopologies, we go through the dual representation of the universal N${}^4$MLT topology and the manifestly causal representation. Additionally, we expose the application of a quantum algorithm as an alternative methodology to identify the causal singular configurations of multiloop Feynman diagrams.
