Quantum Simulations of Gauge Field Theories with Superconducting Circuits

在这个量子理论的博士项目中，我们想要探索在超导电路中模拟量子晶格规范理论的可能性。这里特别感兴趣的是模拟量子色度动力学。因此，任务将是设计合适的电路，并展示它们的量子动力学如何模拟所需的理论。这将通过评估相对于实验中不可避免地出现的噪声源的潜在实现的稳健性，并通过设计适当的方法通过测量来验证量子模拟器的功能来完成。该项目还将涉及与其他进行相关实验的研究小组的合作，例如在苏黎世理工学院。

In this PhD project in quantum theory, we want to explore the possibilities for simulating quantum lattice gauge theories in superconducting circuits. A particular interest here will be to simulate quantum chromo-dynamics. The task will thus be to design suitable circuits and show how their quantum dynamics can emulate the desired theory.This will be completed by assessing the robustness of a potential realization with respect to noise sources that will inevitably be present in an experiment and by devising suitable ways for verifying the functionality of the quantum simulator via measurements. The project will also involve collaborations with other research groups that do the related experiments, for example at ETH Zurich.
