Description
Quantum computers offer major speed-ups for problems like prime factorisation, searching, and quantum simulation. Recent years have seen the emergence of quantum algorithms for simulating lattice QCD and parton showers, but the quantum simulation of generic perturbative QCD processes has largely remained unexplored. As a first non-trivial step, I will discuss the quantum simulation of colour in perturbative QCD. In particular, I will present quantum computing circuits that simulate the colour parts of QCD Feynman diagrams. As an example application, we use these circuits to calculate the colour algebra for various perturbative QCD processes and diagrams. (Based on arXiv:2302.xxxxx by H.A.Chawdhry and M.Pellen)
