Calculating Nature Naturally: Quantum Simulating Quantum Fields

Abstract:
Toward the quantum simulation of Nature's fundamental fields, we will discuss complementary routes for representing continuous fields onto computational quantum devices, reverberations of such decisions to computational resources and quantum entanglement structure, and techniques for reliably protecting symmetries during imperfect dynamical evolution. From multiple perspectives, this will lead to examples of how naturally distributed entanglement in the simulated field can provide practical guidance toward quantum simulation design, both for applications in fundamental physics and for large-scale quantum computations more broadly.
