Description

We present a versatile quantum computing framework designed to simulate real-time dynamics on emerging hybrid hardware platforms that provide simultaneous access to both discrete (qubits) and continuous (qumodes) quantum resources. This framework leverages continuous-variable bosonic modes to represent the infinite-dimensional Hilbert space of gauge fields, integrated with qubits to represent fermionic matter for lattice simulations. We outline both Abelian and non-Abelian implementations in 2+1 dimensions, and explore error-correction pathways enabled by a new class of non-polynomial trigonometric gates.
