Quantum simulating multi-particle processes in high energy nuclear physics: dijet production and color (de)coherence

João Barata, Meijian Li, Wenyang Qian +2

Hard scattering events in high-energy collisions produce highly virtual partons that subsequently fragment into collimated hadronic cascades. When such partonic showers evolve in a…
