Simulating quantum field theories on continuous-variable quantum computers (2024)
Journal Article
Abel, S., Spannowsky, M., & Williams, S. (2024). Simulating quantum field theories on continuous-variable quantum computers. Physical Review A, 110(1), Article 012607. https://doi.org/10.1103/physreva.110.012607

We delve into the use of photonic quantum computing to simulate quantum mechanics and extend its application towards quantum field theory. We develop and prove a method that leverages this form of continuous-variable quantum computing (CVQC) to repro...
