Quantum field theory reconciles quantum mechanics and special relativity, and plays a central role in many areas of physics. We develop a quantum algorithm to compute relativistic scattering probabilities in a massive quantum field theory with quartic self-interactions (phi-fourth theory) in spacetime of four and fewer dimensions. Its run time is polynomial in the number of particles, their energy, and the desired precision, and applies at both weak and strong coupling. In the strong-coupling and high-precision regimes, our quantum algorithm achieves exponential speedup over the fastest known classical algorithm.

    A scalable Trotterization and Localized Diagonal Operator Approximation enable real-time quantum simulation of the multi-flavor Gross-Neveu model on utility-scale superconducting hardware.

  5. Fault-Tolerant Resource Comparison of Qudit and Qubit Encodings for Diagonal Quadratic Operators

    quant-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Qudit encodings for quadratic diagonal evolutions require exponentially stronger synthesis advantages than qubits to win asymptotically in product formulas but can yield constant-factor savings in LCU at low d.

    Deterministic QITE made gauge-invariant via commuting Pauli operators achieves relative error below 0.1 percent for ground-state preparation in 2+1D Z2 LGT on systems up to twelve plaquettes, as shown by tensor-networ...

  8. Ether of Orbifolds

    hep-lat 2026-03 accept novelty 6.0

    Orbifold lattices incur m^4 Trotter overhead, m^2 contamination, and mandatory mass extrapolation, rendering them 10^4 to 10^10 times costlier than alternatives for a 10^3 calculation.

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Quantum advantage in hadronic tomography should be evaluated selectively for CFFs, GPDs, TMDs, and GTMDs because their light-front and real-time correlation functions create ill-posed inverse problems that quantum alg...
