Primitive quantum gates for an S U ( 3 ) discrete subgroup: Σ ( 36 × 3 )

We construct the primitive gate set for the digital quantum simulation of the 108-element Σ ( 36 × 3 ) group. This is the first time a non-Abelian crystal-like subgroup of S U ( 3 ) has been constructed for quantum simulation. The gauge link registers and necessary primitives—the inversion gate, the group multiplication gate, the trace gate, and the Σ ( 36 × 3 ) Fourier transform—are presented for both an eight-qubit encoding and a heterogeneous three-qutrit plus two-qubit register. For the latter, a specialized compiler was developed for decomposing arbitrary unitaries onto this architecture. Published by the American Physical Society 2024

Fuzzy gauge theory for quantum computers

Continuous gauge theories, because of their bosonic degrees of freedom, have an infinite-dimensional local Hilbert space. Encoding these degrees of freedom on qubit-based hardware demands some sort of “qubitization” scheme, where one approximates the behavior of a theory while using only finitely many degrees of freedom. We propose a novel qubitization strategy for gauge theories, called “fuzzy gauge theory,” building on the success of the fuzzy σ -model in earlier work. We provide arguments that the fuzzy gauge theory lies in the same universality class as regular gauge theory, in which case its use would obviate the need of any further limit besides the usual spatial continuum limit. Furthermore, we demonstrate that these models are relatively resource-efficient for quantum simulations. Published by the American Physical Society 2024
