Here we extend a previous work to create wavepackets of a general kind of particle from the vacuum in lattice gauge theories in one and three dimensions. The conceptual foundation of this approach is the Haag-Ruelle scattering theory, and the only theoretical limitation is given by massless particles.

• Abstract: One of the most ambitious goals of quantum simulation of quantum field theory is the description of scattering in real time, which would allow not only for computation of scattering amplitudes, but also for studying the collision process step by step. The initial state of such simulation is made of typically two wavepackets moving on top of the vacuum, whose preparation is hard. Some proposals are based on a modified adiabatic transformation of free wavepackets into interacting wavepackets, but this is not suitable for quantum chromodynamics (QCD). Other approaches used in one-dimensional lattice gauge theories rely on an adiabatic transformation from the strong coupling limit, or on ansatzes to create the wavepackets from the full, interacting vacuum. Here we extend a previous work to create wavepackets of a general kind of particle from the vacuum in lattice gauge theories in one and three dimensions, including QCD. The conceptual foundation of this approach is the Haag-Ruelle scattering theory, and the only theoretical limitation is given by massless particles. In the context of digital quantum computation, the wavepacket creation from the vacuum is implemented with the technique known as LCU (linear combination of unitaries). The preparation is performed successfully with a certain success probability, which may represent the main obstacle of our approach.

• Digital Quantum Simulation for Spectroscopy of Schwinger Model [0.0]
  This note discusses a method for computing the energy spectra of quantum field theory utilizing digital quantum simulation. A quantum algorithm, called coherent imaging spectroscopy, quenches the vacuum with a time-oscillating perturbation. As a practical demonstration, we apply this algorithm to the (1+1)-dimensional quantum electrodynamics with a topological term known as the Schwinger model.

  In this work, we construct a wave-packet creation operator directly in the interacting theory to circumvent adiabatic evolution. We show that interacting mesonic wave packets can be created efficiently and accurately using digital quantum algorithms. The fidelities agree well with classical benchmark calculations after employing a simple symmetry-based noise-mitigation technique.

We find that the quantum simulator results can indeed be explained by the KZM for open-system quantum dynamics with phase-flip errors. This implies that the theoretical predictions of the generalized KZM theory, which assumes isolation from the environment, applies beyond its original scope to an open system.
