Description

Gluons in unpolarized hadrons exhibit nontrivial spin-orbit correlations, which at sufficiently small longitudinal momentum fractions, can be characterized by highly entangled quantum states. In this work, we develop a quantum simulation framework to study the coupling between the intrinsic helicity and orbital angular momentum of a gluon on a quantum computer. We extend our framework to simulate the dynamics of multi-gluon systems by incorporating inter-gluon spin-orbit interactions and entanglement, thereby exploring the quantum information structure of gluonic matter on the quantum computer.
