Quantum computing in hadronic physics

Together with major theoretical breakthroughs, computing and simulations play an increasingly essential role in meeting the challenges and realizing the full potential of current and future experimental programs in nuclear physics. With the exponential increase in computing power enabled by the superposition and entanglement properties of quantum bits, quantum computing and simulations open the opportunity for potentially transformational, exact predictions of nuclear phenomena, ranging from the structure and interactions of hadronic matter at the most fundamental level, to stellar explosions. In this talk, I will provide an overview of recent developments and future opportunities in leveraging emerging quantum computing and quantum simulation platforms to open new horizons in nuclear theory research.
