Quantum algorithms for the simulation of perturbative QCD processes

Abstract

Quantum computers are expected to give major speed-ups for the simulation of quantum systems. In these conference proceedings, we discuss quantum algorithms for the simulation of perturbative Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) processes. In particular, we describe quantum circuits for simulating the colour part of the interactions of quarks and gluons. We implement our circuits on a simulated noiseless quantum computer and validate them by calculating colour factors for various examples of Feynman diagrams.
