String Breaking on a Quantum Simulator - Blake Senseman

Abstract: Hadronization is a hallmark nonperturbative effect in QCD, wherein high energy few-particle states generate a shower of unique bound states. Stochastic string models have typically been used to compute the resultant distributions of such events, but recent numerical and quantum device simulation methods have opened up new modelling possibilities. The current work focuses on a spin-1 truncation of the low-energy regime of scalar electrodynamics as a platform for measuring hadron multiplicity distributions. Further discussion will focus on other measurements that can benchmark such quantum hadronization models and the application of these techniques to other simple gauge theories, some of which can be simulated faithfully on current quantum devices.
