Title: Simulations of Gauge Theories on Quantum Computers

Abstract: Gauge theories describe the fundamental interactions, but their complexity makes questions involving real-time dynamics beyond the reach of classical computation. Quantum computers open a new path by naturally representing quantum fields and evolving them in real time thus circumventing for example the sign problem that limits classical Monte Carlo methods. In this talk, we will discuss the challenges and recent progress in encoding and simulating Gauge theories on fault-tolerant quantum computers.
