Beschreibung
Classical methods for simulating lattice gauge theories generally encounter a sign problem when studying theories at finite chemical potential, theories with a topological θ-term, or their real-time dynamics. Quantum simulations of gauge theories offer a way to overcome some of these challenges by mapping the classically inaccessible real-time dynamics onto quantum devices. In this talk, I will discuss strategies for digital quantum simulations of the lattice Schwinger Model, with a focus on novel approaches to adiabatic state preparation. I will review existing adiabatic Hamiltonians and introduce new ones that mix states across different charge sectors, comparing their efficacy in exploring systems with a nonzero topological θ-term and in studying string breaking phenomena.
