Quantum Lunch Series Event – Speaker Yannick Meurice

Talk Title: From Tensorial Formulations of Abelian Gauge Theories to Quantum Computing

Speaker: Yannick Meurice, Professor with the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Iowa.

Abstract: We give a brief introduction to the physics goals of Tensor Field Theory (for a recent review see arXiv:2010.06539). We show that standard identities and theorems for lattice models with U(1) symmetry get re-expressed discretely in the tensorial formulation.

We construct a gauge-invariant transfer matrix in arbitrary dimensions. We show the equivalence with its gauge-fixed version in a maximal temporal gauge and explain how a discrete Gauss’s law is always enforced. We propose a noise-robust way to implement Gauss’s law in arbitrary dimensions.

We discuss applications for quantum computing and quantum simulation experiments
