SUMMARY: Applying Quantum Computing to HEP - Steve Abel (IPPP)
DTSTART:20240306T140000Z

UID:TALK210379@talks.cam.ac.uk
CONTACT:Hannah Banks
DESCRIPTION: In this talk I will discuss several studies in which quantum 
 computers have been proposed as tools for studying particle theories. The 
 first study uses quantum annealers to implement simple scalar field theori
 es and observe quantum tunnelling\, which follows the expected analytic be
 haviour: for example the decay rate follows the WKB approximation. The sec
 ond more recent idea uses photonic devices to implement quantum tunnelling
 . In principle in both of these studies we are observing non-perturbative 
 effects\, suggesting that these and similar methods may be of interest in 
 understanding a wide range of phenomena. The talk will be pedagogical.\n
