• Abstract: Quantum electrodynamics in $1+1$ dimensions (Schwinger model) on an interval admits lattice discretization with a finite-dimensional Hilbert space, and is often used as a testbed for quantum and tensor network simulations. In this work we clarify the precise mapping between the boundary conditions in the continuum and lattice theories. In particular we show that the conventional Gauss law constraint commonly used in simulations induces a strong boundary effect on the charge density, reflecting the appearance of fractionalized charges. Further, we obtain by bosonization a number of exact analytic results for local observables in the massless Schwinger model. We compare these analytic results with the simulation results obtained by the density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) method and find excellent agreements.

We also comment on the implications of our results for simulating non-Abelian anyons on quantum computers.

  We study the density of states of the lattice Schwinger model, a standard testbench for lattice gauge theory numerical techniques. We identify regimes of parameters where the spectrum appears to be symmetric and displays the expected continuum properties. We find that for moderate system sizes and lattice spacing of $gasim O(1)$, the spectral density can exhibit very different properties with a highly asymmetric form.
