QFitter -- A Quantum Fitting Framework Applied to Effective Field Theories
arXiv:2207.10088 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.107.015023
Abstract
The use of experimental data to constrain the values of the Wilson coefficients of an Effective Field Theory (EFT) involves minimising a function that may contain local minima. Classical optimisation algorithms can become trapped in these minima, preventing the determination of the global minimum. The quantum annealing framework has the potential to overcome this limitation and reliably find the global minimum of non-convex functions. We present QFitter, a quantum annealing method to perform EFT fits. Using a state-of-the-art quantum annealer, we show with concrete examples that QFitter can be used to fit sets of at least eight coefficients, including their quadratic contributions. An arbitrary number of observables can be included without changing the required number of qubits. We provide an example in which is non-convex and show that QFitter can find the global minimum more accurately than its classical alternatives.
