Description
Simulating lattice gauge theories on quantum computers presents significant challenges, motivating the development of novel theoretical frameworks. The orbifold lattice formulation provides a scalable approach for quantum simulations of lattice gauge theories. Quantum circuits for this framework can be explicitly constructed, with computational complexity scaling polynomially with the number of qubits. Monte Carlo simulations (arXiv:2604.15132) demonstrate that the orbifold lattice for SU(2) in (2+1) dimensions recovers the Kogut–Susskind formulation in the large scalar mass limit.
