Supersymmetric models propose a symmetry linking bosons and fermions, but the infamous sign problem obstructs lattice studies of non-perturbative aspects like spontaneous supersymmetry breaking and real-time evolution, a limitation absent in quantum computing.

The lattice supersymmetric quantum mechanics model provides a valuable testbed for exploring key challenges in quantum computing,...

Simulating lattice field theories on quantum hardware presents significant challenges, particularly in state preparation and the efficient representation of mixed degrees of freedom. In this talk, I will discuss how quantum optimal control techniques can be used to mitigate barren plateaus in standard gate-based state preparation, enabling more efficient initialization of quantum states...
