Non-Abelian dynamics on a cube: Improving quantum compilation through qudit-based simulations
Journal Article Physical Review D · October 22, 2025 Recent developments in mapping lattice gauge theories relevant to the Standard Model onto digital quantum computers identify scalable paths with well-defined quantum compilation challenges toward the continuum. As an entry point to these challenges, we add ...

Journal Article Physical Review A · July 30, 2025 Though known to be present, the accessibility of spacelike vacuum entanglement capable of being a fundamental resource for quantum information processing has remained in question at distances beyond the scale of vacuum fluctuations in massive fields. For a ... Full text CiteStatistical Localization in a Rydberg Simulator of $U(1)$ Lattice Gauge Theory
