Quantum Computation SG Seminar by Dorota Grabowska on December 6, 2024
The seminar speaker introduced the topic of Quantum Computations for Lattice Gauge Theories (LGT).
Classical methods to solve LGTs are very advanced and allow researchers to connect the Standard Model of Particle Physics and its predictions to collider experiments.
Some important phenomena arising in the Standard Model can not be explored with classical algorithms, and they may benefit from quantum computers.
The seminar introduced the important aspects of research needed to understand how to define LGT in the Hamiltonian formulation.
For example, how to define the Hamiltonian and its symmetries. Or how to choose the basis of the quantum operators on the lattice.
Many interesting discussions followed the seminar.
