In the future, ab initio quantum simulations of heavy ion collisions may become possible with large-scale fault-tolerant quantum computers. We propose a quantum algorithm for studying these collisions by looking at a class of observables requiring dramatically smaller volumes: transport coefficients. These form nonperturbative inputs into theoretical models of heavy ions; thus, their calculation reduces theoretical uncertainties without the need for a full-scale simulation of the collision. We derive the necessary lattice operators in the Hamiltonian formulation and describe how to obtain them on quantum computers. Additionally, we discuss ways to efficiently prepare the relevant thermal state of a gauge theory.

  1. Probing Hadron Scattering in Lattice Gauge Theories on Qudit Quantum Computers

    quant-ph 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Proposed qudit circuits simulate meson-antimeson scattering in a spin-1 U(1) lattice gauge theory and remain accurate under realistic dephasing and depolarization noise.

  2. Efficient Qudit Circuit for Quench Dynamics of $2+1$D Quantum Link Electrodynamics

    quant-ph 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A matter-integrated-out reformulation of 2+1D U(1) quantum link electrodynamics is translated into explicit qudit circuits, with Trotterized simulations matching exact dynamics on small lattices.

  3. String Breaking Dynamics and Glueball Formation in a $2+1$D Lattice Gauge Theory

    hep-lat 2025-07 accept novelty 6.0 of 10

    In a 2+1D Z2 lattice gauge theory, string breaking happens only at specific resonances set by field strength and matter mass, while long strings can dynamically form closed electric loops analogous to glueballs.

  4. Observation of hadron scattering in a lattice gauge theory on a quantum computer

    quant-ph 2025-05 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The authors observe elastic and confined scattering, plus mass-quench-induced inelastic dynamics, in a 1+1D U(1) lattice gauge theory on IBM quantum hardware.
