Quantum Simulations of the Standard Model

ORAL · Invited

Abstract

Future quantum simulations are expected to be able to provide robust predictions of the properties and dynamics of quantum many-body systems of importance to Standard Model physics research, to complement and support the theoretical, computational and experimental research activities in high-energy and nuclear physics. They will advance our understanding of, for example, dense, non-equilibrium, strongly interacting quarks, gluons, leptons found in the earliest moments of the universe, in dense systems of neutrinos produced in extreme astrophysical environments, in the fragmentation of particles and nuclei in high-energy collisions produced in the laboratory, and in the properties of nuclei, particularly in light of the role of quantum correlations, entanglement and emergent symmetries. I will give an overview of the state-of-the-art of quantum simulations of lattice gauge theories and neutrino systems, their unique aspects along with their connections with simulations in other research areas, estimates of quantum resource, and outline of the exciting road ahead.
