Description
Simulating lattice gauge theories on quantum computers presents unique challenges driving the development of novel theoretical frameworks. The orbifold lattice formulation offers a scalable framework for quantum simulations of lattice gauge theories. The corresponding quantum circuits can be constructed explicitly, and the computational cost grows polynomially with the number of qubits. Preliminary Monte Carlo simulations show that the orbifold lattice for SU(2) in (2+1) dimensions reproduces the Kogut–Susskind formulation in the limit of large scalar mass.
