QUANTHEP 2023 - Quantum Technologies and Computation for High Energy Physics

25 Sept 2023, 08:00 → 27 Sept 2023, 23:30 Europe/Rome

Aula Magna “Aldo Cossu” (Bari)

The name QuantHEP merges the arXiv sections used by the Quantum Technologies and High-Energy Physics communities, namely quant-ph and hep-ex,-lat,-ph,-th. 

The first QuantHEP Conference will be held in Bari, Italy, on 25-27 September 2023, and aims at becoming a regular conference for both communities and fostering their scientific collaboration. The conference stems from the QuantHEP QuantERA Project. 
 

The QuantHEP Conference represents an occasion to present and discuss ideas and results on how Quantum Technologies can help address scientific challenges in High-Energy Physics, and how in turn the latter can bring new insights into Quantum Information Science.

Topics will include: 

Quantum algorithms, in particular for the analysis and simulation of events from large particle-physics experiments, quantum-inspired tensor network methods, lattice gauge theories, quantum complexity, quantum computing solutions for high-energy and quantum matter, quantum sensing, quantum technologies. 

The scientific contributions will be organized in talks, posters and discussions.

12:00 → 12:30 Tensor Network methods for real-time dynamics of lattice gauge theories

Gauge theories are of paramount importance in our understanding of fundamental constituents of matter and their interactions, ranging from high-energy particle physics to low-temperature quantum many-body physics. However, the complete characterization of their phase diagrams and the full understanding of non-perturbative effects are still debated, especially at finite charge density, mostly due to the sign-problem affecting Monte Carlo numerical simulations. In recent years, a complementary numerical approach, Tensor Networks (TN) methods, in strict connection with emerging quantum technologies, have found increasing applications for studying Lattice Gauge Theories (LGTs). In this talk, I will present some recent results concerning the application of TN algorithms to the study of real-time dynamics of LGTs including dynamical matter. In particular, I will focus on the case of Quantum Electrodynamics, addressing intriguing phenomena such as string-breaking, dynamical confinement and scattering effects.
