SU(2) non-Abelian gauge field theory in one dimension on digital quantum computers

preprint2019arXivOpen access

Abstract

An improved mapping of one-dimensional SU(2) non-Abelian gauge theory onto qubit degrees of freedom is presented. This new mapping allows for a reduced unphysical Hilbert space. Insensitivity to interactions within this unphysical space is exploited to design more efficient quantum circuits. Local gauge symmetry is used to analytically incorporate the angular momentum alignment, leading to qubit registers encoding the total angular momentum on each link. The results of a multi-plaquette calculation on IBM's quantum hardware are presented.
