- Abstract: Conformal field theory, describing systems with scaling symmetry, plays a
crucial role throughout physics. We describe a quantum algorithm to simulate
the dynamics of conformal field theories, including the action of local
conformal transformations. A full analysis of the approximation errors suggests
near-term applicability of our algorithm: promising results for conformal field
theories with central charge c=1/2 are obtained already with 128 logical
qubits.

We propose a procedure of computing the n-point function in perturbation theory of the quantum field theory as the average over the complex Gaussian noises in a classical theory.
The complex Gaussian noises are the sources for the creation and annihilation of particles and the energy of the resultant configuration is the same as the zero point energy of the corresponding quantum field theory.
