Simulations of 1+1 dimensional quantum chromodynamics using IBM's quantum computers

ORAL

Abstract

Quantum computers have the capability to efficiently simulate the real-time dynamics of nuclear processes such as heavy ion collision and transport in dense nuclear matter. Towards these goals, results from quantum simulations of 1+1 dimensional quantum chromodynamics are presented. IBM's 7-qubit quantum computers, ibmq_jakarta and ibm_perth, are used to study the dynamics of one spatial site of one flavor 1+1 dimensional QCD. Recently developed error mitigation techniques are applied to obtain ~1% error in the trivial vacuum persistence and transition probabilities.
