Quantum Wishlist: Lessons from Parton Showers
Abstract
We discuss general criteria that could guide us in applying quantum algorithms/computers to problems in high-energy physics. We then discuss the particular example of parton showers with quantum interference. We summarize the basic ideas behind the classical and quantum parton shower Monte Carlo algorithms and highlight the importance of quantum/classical hybrid algorithms. Our finding in quantum parton showers could serve as a useful case study for further exploration of quantum algorithms/computers in high-energy physics.
