Description

A flagship application of quantum computing is the simulation of other quantum systems. In this talk I will present advances towards the use of quantum computers to simulate scattering in the highest-energy regime of QCD probed by colliders like the LHC. In particular, I will present techniques for calculating Feynman diagrams and their interferences using a quantum computer. The algorithms are demonstrated on a unique state-of-the-art 98-qubit ion-trap machine.
