Description

Quantum computing has demonstrated the potential to revolutionize our understanding and computational methods in various areas of nuclear physics, heavy-ion collisions, and formal quantum field theory. In this talk, I highlight our recent progress in studying hadron structures, in-medium jet evolution, thermalization, and quantum field theory using various quantum computing techniques. We provide an universal and conceptually clean path towards simulating physics with quantum computing and present numerical results on quantum devices, classical simulators, and tensor networks.
