SU2QC develops and tests quantum-classical tools for real-time non-Abelian gauge dynamics, with SU(2) lattice gauge theory as a controlled setting for connecting field theory, computation, and experiment.
We study how color fields and matter evolve away from equilibrium. Real-time questions are complementary to the Euclidean observables that underpin much of lattice QCD, and they motivate controlled quantum and classical calculations.
Flux tubes, screening, string breaking, and matter production provide concrete diagnostics of non-Abelian dynamics. We use them as scientific questions, not as claims of an already-complete quantum advantage.
Finite and lower-dimensional SU(2) systems make gauge symmetry, spectra, scaling, and dynamics testable at high resolution. They are deliberately controlled benchmarks—not substitutes for SU(3) QCD in 3+1 dimensions.
Gauge constraints, finite representations, state preparation, time evolution, measurement, noise, and verification must be treated together. Small systems can be compared against trusted classical calculations before larger studies are attempted.
Machine learning and classical high-performance computing can support circuit compilation, resource estimation, inference, error mitigation, and cross-validation. Any improvement must remain measurable and physically interpretable.
Progress is measured by agreement with analytic limits, exact diagonalization, tensor-network or HPC calculations, and carefully characterized device data. The collaboration builds on public work in lattice-QCD structure and algorithms, gauge-field digitization and qubitization, many-body dynamics, symmetry-aware methods, error mitigation, and scientific machine learning.
