Time-evolution of SU(2) lattice gauge theory on a quantum computer

Lattice Gauge Theory is a mathematical tool used to study the forces of nature, like Quantum Electrodynamics and Quantum Chromodynamics. Quantum computers offer an alternative to classical computers in studying these forces. In my thesis, a gate-based quantum computer was used to perform calculations of the propagation of an excitation in real-time. A new error mitigation method was developed to greatly extend the range of comprehensible data over time by using the physics circuits to estimate the accumulated error. I also developed the theoretical foundation for higher energy systems, as well as higher dimensional geometry.
