Block Encoding Non-Abelian Lattice Gauge Theory

Patrick Draper

Gauge theories like lattice QCD present a complex problem for quantum simulation. In a basis where the electric part of the Hamiltonian is simple, the magnetic part, generally expr…

Lattice Quantum Chromodynamics for Quantum Simulations

Luis Hidalgo, Patrick Draper

The paper presents a framework for simulating lattice SU(Nc) gauge theories with quarks on quantum computers, demonstrating noiseless quantum simulations of QCD (Nc=3) on small lat…

Perturbation theory, irrep truncations, and state preparation methods for quantum simulations of SU(3) lattice gauge theory

Praveen Balaji, Cianan Conefrey-Shinozaki, Patrick Draper +4

We study methods for efficient preparation of approximate ground states of lattice gauge theory on quantum hardware. Working in a variant of the electric basis, we introduc…

Hamiltonian truncation and quantum simulation of strong-field QED beyond tree level

Patrick Draper, Luis Hidalgo, Anton Ilderton

Quantum electrodynamics in strong background fields provides an interesting class of problems for classical and quantum simulation. In this paper we formulate simulations of polari…

Quantum Circuits for SU(3) Lattice Gauge Theory

Praveen Balaji, Cianán Conefrey-Shinozaki, Patrick Draper +5

Lattice gauge theories in varying dimensions, lattice volumes, and truncations offer a rich family of targets for Hamiltonian simulation on quantum devices. In return, formulating…

Three-qubit encoding in ytterbium-171 atoms for simulating 1+1D QCD

William Huie, Cianan Conefrey-Shinozaki, Zhubing Jia +2

Simulating nuclear matter described by quantum chromodynamics using quantum computers is notoriously inefficient because of the assortment of quark degrees of freedom such as matte…
