Description
Quantum simulation is a promising approach to studying real-time dynamics in lattice gauge theories, but experimental studies have so far been largely restricted to Abelian models or to one-spatial dimension. In this talk, I will present a quantum simulation of a (2+1)-dimensional non-Abelian lattice gauge theory, that is, a q-deformed $\mathrm{SU(2)}_3$ Yang–Mills theory on a trapped-ion quantum computer. By focusing on the integer-spin sector, the model is described by Fibonacci anyons while retaining essential non-Abelian fusion algebra. Using quantum circuits based on $F$-moves, we simulate the real-time dynamics and examine the impact of hardware noise, together with possible strategies for its mitigation.
