SUMMARY:A general approach to quantum integration of cross sections in hig
 h-energy physics - Ifan Williams: Quantinuum

DESCRIPTION:Monte Carlo integration is a fundamental method underpinning M
 onte Carlo simulations in high-energy physics (HEP). In this talk\, I will
  present universal "building blocks" for quantum-enhanced integration of g
 eneric cross sections in HEP\, based on Fourier Quantum Monte Carlo Integr
 ation. Leveraging Quantinuum’s Quantum Monte Carlo Integration engine\, 
 this approach enables the efficient generation of quantum circuits for the
 se calculations\, achieving a quadratic speed-up in root mean-squared erro
 r convergence compared to classical methods. To illustrate its impact\, I 
 will walk through a concrete example of a 1→3 decay process\, demonstrat
 ing how quantum algorithms can enhance integral estimation in HEP and pote
 ntially reshape computational strategies in the future.
