String-Breaking Dynamics in Quantum Adiabatic and Diabatic Processes
Federica Maria Surace, Alessio Lerose, Or Katz +10
Confinement prohibits isolation of color charges, e.g., quarks, in nature via a process called string breaking: the separation of two charges results in an increase in the energy o…
Quantum Simulation of Gauge Theories for Particle and Nuclear Physics
Zohreh Davoudi
Lattice field theory, along with its algorithmic and hardware ecosystems, has been at the forefront of computational particle and nuclear physics. It continues to deliver impressiv…
Quantum Algorithms for Simulating Nuclear Effective Field Theories
James D. Watson, Jacob Bringewatt, Alexander F. Shaw +3
Quantum computers offer the potential to simulate nuclear processes that are classically intractable. With the goal of understanding the necessary quantum resources to realize this…
String-breaking statics and dynamics in a (1+1)D SU(2) lattice gauge theory
Navya Gupta, Emil Mathew, Saurabh V. Kadam +5
String breaking is at the core of hadronization models of relevance to particle colliders. Yet, studies of string-breaking dynamics rooted in quantum chromodynamics remain fundamen…
A Euclidean Monte-Carlo-informed route to ground-state preparation for quantum simulation of scalar field theory
Navya Gupta, Christopher David White, Zohreh Davoudi
Quantum simulators hold great promise for studying real-time (Minkowski) dynamics of quantum field theories. Nonetheless, preparing non-trivial initial states remains a major obsta…
TASI/CERN/KITP Lecture Notes on "Toward Quantum Computing Gauge Theories of Nature"
Zohreh Davoudi
A hallmark of the computational campaign in nuclear and particle physics is the lattice-gauge-theory program. It continues to enable theoretical predictions for a range of phenomen…
