Simulating Strongly-Interacting Physics on Modern-Day Quantum Devices

This conference talk by Dorota Grabowska from the University of Washington explores the simulation of strongly-interacting physics on contemporary quantum devices. Delve into the complex world of Quantum Field Theory (QFT) and its applications, particularly focusing on Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) which describes the strong nuclear force. Learn how Lattice Gauge Theory has evolved into a precision tool through improved algorithms, theoretical insights, and computational advancements. The presentation examines the interplay between lattice and continuum approaches to QFT, covering Euclidean and Hamiltonian approaches, their symmetries, and emerging connections with quantum simulation and computation. Part of a conference co-sponsored by the Simons Collaboration on Confinement and QCD Strings, this talk contributes to discussions on string-theoretic approaches to confining flux tubes, dynamics in Minkowski spacetime, lower-dimensional QCD models, and their relationship with recent formal QFT developments like generalized symmetries.
