Quantum computing is an emerging framework to address certain properties of strongly interacting systems that are otherwise intractable on classical computers. Using quantum link gauge theories and qubitized quantum field theories, ideal for implementing on quantum computers, we show how familiar physics of simpler model systems emerge in the continuum limit. Additionally, the new formulations allow controlled studies of real-time dynamics, revealing phenomena such as (anomalous) thermalisation, which is otherwise challenging in the conventional QFT formulation.
