Description

We construct quantum Monte Carlo methods for simple qubit regularized gauge theories in various dimensions that do not suffer from sign problems. Results from these calculations suggest that these theories contain both confined and deconfined phases. Finite temperature phase transitions between these phases show the expected universality classes of traditional gauge theories in various dimensions. While quantum phase transitions are more difficult, we provide evidence for their feasibility.
