Description

Hadronic tensors encode non-perturbative information about hadron structure and scattering dynamics. Quantum computing offers a complementary first-principles approach to kinematic regimes challenging for classical algorithms. As a proof-of-concept study, we investigate the scalar-current hadronic tensor in a deep-inelastic scattering in the Schwinger model. We evaluate the corresponding real-time current-current correlator using quantum-circuit methods and obtain the hadronic tensor through Fourier transformation. We present the results for circuit executions in a 10-site theory. This work benchmarks quantum-simulation approaches to hadronic tensors and lays the groundwork for future applications in hadronic physics.
