Description

Testing detailed predictions of QCD and searching for phenomena at the LHC requires knowing spin dependent Parton Distribution Functions for quarks and gluons. For some observables Generalized or Transverse Momentum pdf’s are needed. Calculating these distributions from QCD, ab initio, is prohibitively resource intensive and depends on non-perturbative techniques. Quantum simulation on a quantum computer of quantum field theories offers a new way to investigate properties of the fundamental constituents of matter. We develop quantum simulation algorithms based on the light-front formulation of relativistic field theories, beginning with Yukawa theories in 1+1D and 2+1D. We compute pdf’s and GPD’s for a model of pion-like mesons and quark-diquark baryons.
