• Abstract summary: Quantum simulation is one of the methods that have been proposed and used in practice to bypass computational challenges. We propose a truncation-free method based on the exact analogy between the local Hilbert space of lattice QED and that of a Josephson junction. Our method can simulate a quasi-2D system of up to $2times N$ plaquettes, and we present an approximate method that can simulate the fully-2D theory, but is more demanding experimentally and not immediately feasible.

• Abstract: Quantum simulation is one of the methods that have been proposed and used in practice to bypass computational challenges in the investigation of lattice gauge theories. While most of the proposals rely on truncating the infinite dimensional Hilbert spaces that these models feature, we propose a truncation-free method based on the exact analogy between the local Hilbert space of lattice QED and that of a Josephson junction. We provide several proposals, mostly semi-analog, arranged according to experimental difficulty. Our method can simulate a quasi-2D system of up to $2\times N$ plaquettes, and we present an approximate method that can simulate the fully-2D theory, but is more demanding experimentally and not immediately feasible. This sets the ground for analog quantum simulation of lattice gauge theories with superconducting circuits, in a completely Hilbert space truncation-free procedure, for continuous gauge groups.

  We focus on two important bottlenecks that make developing such simulators hard. The redundancy of the Hilbert space leads to a waste of experimental resources and the need to impose and monitor the local constraints of gauge theories. We show an alternative procedure for dealing with these problems, which removes the matter symmetry space, and is valid for higher space dimensions.

  Quantum simulation of lattice gauge theories (LGTs) aims at tackling non-perturbative particle and condensed matter physics. One of the current challenges is to go beyond 1+1 dimensions, where four-body (plaquette) interactions, not contained naturally in quantum simulating devices, appear. We show how to prepare the ground state and measure Wilson loops using state-of-the-art techniques in atomic physics.

In lattice units, we find a Schwinger model on $N/2$ physical sites with coupling constant $x-1/2$ and electric field cutoff $x-1/2Lambda$. We estimate observables which we cost in both the NISQ and fault-tolerant settings by assuming a simple target observable---the mean pair density.

We then show that a single bosonic atom can mediate an effective Coulomb repulsion between two fermions, leading to the analog of molecular Hydrogen in two dimensions.
