Quantum computing has demonstrated the potential to revolutionize our understanding and computational methods in various areas of nuclear physics, heavy-ion collisions, and formal quantum field theory. In this talk, I highlight our recent progress i studying hadron structures, in-medium jet evolution, and thermalization using various quantum computing techniques. We provide an universal and conceptually clean path towards simulating physics with quantum computing and present numerical results on quantum devices, classical simulators, and tensor networks.
报告人简介：
I am Wenyang Qian (钱文扬), originally from Nanjing, China. I received my Ph.D. in 2020 under Professor James Vary at Iowa State University, and I am now a Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) postdoc fellow working with Professor Carlos Salgado at Galician Institute of High Energy Physics (IGFAE) of the University of Santiago de Compostela. My doctoral research focuses on the understanding of hadron structures using lightfront Hamiltonian formalism, where I studied meson spectroscopy and relevant hadronic observables. With the rapid development of quantum technologies, I have been working on solving bound-state and time-dependent problems using quantum computing. For the MSCA, my research focused on development of a scalable quantum simulation algorithm to study quantum jet simulation in medium. In addition, I have also been working on low dimensional theories to study thermalization as well as to extract crucial hadronic observables such as parton distribution functions from first principles.
