Quantum computing for lattice supersymmetry

Abstract

Quantum computing promises the possibility of studying the real-time dynamics of non-perturbative quantum field theories while avoiding the sign problem that obstructs conventional lattice approaches. Current and near-future quantum devices are severely limited by noise, making investigations of simple low-dimensional lattice systems ideal testbeds for algorithm development. Considering simple supersymmetric systems, such as supersymmetric quantum mechanics with different superpotentials, allows for the analysis of phenomena like dynamical supersymmetry breaking. We present ongoing work applying quantum computing techniques to study such theories, targeting real-time dynamics and supersymmetry breaking effects
