DESCRIPTION:The simulation of high energy collisions at experiments like t
 he Large Hadron Collider (LHC) relies on the performance of full event gen
 erators and their accuracy and speed in modeling the complexity of multi-p
 article final states. The rapid improvement of quantum devices presents an
  exciting opportunity to construct dedicated algorithms to exploit the pot
 ential quantum computers can provide.\n\nI will present general and extend
 able quantum computing algorithms to calculate two key stages of an LHC co
 llision\; the hard interaction via helicity amplitudes and the subsequent 
 parton shower process. These algorithms fully utilise the quantum nature o
 f the calculations and the machine's ability to remain in a quantum state 
 throughout the computation. It is a first step towards a quantum computing
  algorithm to describe the full collision event at the LHC.
