Description
Fundamental obstacles are believed to prevent classical computers from ever producing /ab initio /theoretical predictions for certain cross-sections and transport coefficients at particle colliders and in the early universe. While quantum computers could overcome these obstacles, the current resources estimates for /quantum practicality/ in particle physics are large. In this talk, we will review these estimates and state-of-the-art calculations. A small discussion of possible hardware and algorithmic methods for reducing these costs -- and thus accelerating the timeline for quantum practicality -- will be had.
