Description
We present a qubit-based approach for simulating Quantum Electrodynamics (QED), extending the well-established quantum algorithm for scalar field theory to gauge fields. Our method ensures gauge invariance, which automatically enforces Gauss’s law, and is formulated in the lattice framework akin to Wilson or Kogut-Susskind theory. The qubit representation is designed to align with finite Weyl commutation relations, allowing straightforward extension to large representation dimension N, which recovers compact QED in the infinite-N limit. We also study error mitigation strategies; explicit implementations in both 3+1 and 2+1 dimensions have been tested on IBM quantum devices.
