Key static and dynamic properties of matter—from creation in the Big Bang to evolution into
subatomic and astrophysical environments—arise from the underlying fundamental …

Hadron wave packets are prepared and time evolved in the Schwinger model using 112
qubits of IBM's 133-qubit Heron quantum computer ibm_torino. The initialization of the …

Among the many computational challenges faced across different disciplines, quantum-
mechanical systems pose some of the hardest ones and offer a natural playground for the …

Gauge theories constitute the basis of the Standard Model and provide useful descriptions of
various phenomena in condensed matter. Realizing gauge theories on tunable tabletop …

Tools necessary for quantum simulations of 1+ 1 dimensional quantum chromodynamics are
developed. When formulated in axial gauge and with two flavors of quarks, this system …
