Description
In Wilson's formulation of lattice gauge theories, the gauge fields are represented using link variables which exist in an infinite-dimensional Hilbert space. Quantum link models promote these link variables to operators such that the Hilbert space in finite-dimensional, thus giving a potential avenue to explore quantum simulation. We investigate the SU(2) gauge theory quantum link model in (2+1)-dimensions on both the square and honeycomb lattices.
