Description

Real-time correlators are difficult to evaluate on a classical computer due to the sign problem. Simulations performed on a quantum computer naturally give real-time correlators. From these real-time correlators, both parton distribution functions and the hadronic tensor may be obtained. In this talk, I describe three ingredients for the evaluation of the hadronic tensor on a quantum computer - the preparation of a proton state, representation and simulation of SU(3) gauge theory, and evaluation of real-time correlators.
