• Authors: Christian W. Bauer, Marat Freytsis and Benjamin Nachman
• Abstract summary: Field theories (EFTs) provide an efficient mechanism to separate the high energy dynamics from the dynamics at low energy. We show how quantum algorithms can be used to simulate the dynamics of the low energy EFT from first principles. Calculations are performed using simulations of a quantum computer as well as measurements using the IBMQ Manhattan machine.

• Abstract: Simulating the full dynamics of a quantum field theory over a wide range of energies requires exceptionally large quantum computing resources. Yet for many observables in particle physics, perturbative techniques are sufficient to accurately model all but a constrained range of energies within the validity of the theory. We demonstrate that effective field theories (EFTs) provide an efficient mechanism to separate the high energy dynamics that is easily calculated by traditional perturbation theory from the dynamics at low energy and show how quantum algorithms can be used to simulate the dynamics of the low energy EFT from first principles. As an explicit example we calculate the expectation values of vacuum-to-vacuum and vacuum-to-one-particle transitions in the presence of a time-ordered product of two Wilson lines in scalar field theory, an object closely related to those arising in EFTs of the Standard Model of particle physics. Calculations are performed using simulations of a quantum computer as well as measurements using the IBMQ Manhattan machine.
