Quantum Simulations of Effective Theories

Simulations of Quantum Field Theories (QFT) on quantum devices allow to compuate the full dynamics of a QFT from first principles. However, quantum simulations of QFTs over the full energy range of collider experiments have prohibitive resouce requirements. Simulating the dynamics of effective field theories allows to capture the main effects that can not be computed classically. We illustrate this by computing the soft function in Soft-Collinear Effective Theory, which provides the dominant long distance contribution in jet physics.
