General Methods for Digital Quantum Simulation of Gauge Theories (1903.08807v3)
Published 20 Mar 2019 in hep-lat, cond-mat.str-el, nucl-th, and quant-ph
Abstract: A general scheme is presented for simulating gauge theories, with matter fields, on a digital quantum computer. A Trotterized time-evolution operator that respects gauge symmetry is constructed, and a procedure for obtaining time-separated, gauge-invariant operators is detailed. We demonstrate the procedure on small lattices, including the simulation of a 2+1D non-Abelian gauge theory.
