ZACHE CLASS:PUBLIC DESCRIPTION:Gauge theories are ubiquitous in fundamental physics with appli cations ranging from high-energy particle physics over emergent phenomena in condensed matter to quantum information science and technology. Since s everal regimes of interest have remained inaccessible to classical simulat ions\, they constitute an ideal target for quantum simulations. In this ta lk\, I will present recent progress towards the quantum simulation of non- abelian lattice gauge theories (LGTs) and discuss how to tackle outstandin g open problems. After reviewing the current state-of-the-art\, I will hig hlight key challenges that are unique to LGTs. Our proposed solutions requ ire both hardware and software to be tailored to the requirements of LGTs. This includes the theoretical development of qudit and fermion architectu res\, as well as digital algorithms based on a q-deformed formulation of L GTs.\nBased on:\n[1] Gonzá\;lez-Cuadra et al.\, PRL 129\, 160501 (20 22)\n[2] Gonzá\;lez-Cuadra et al.\, PNAS 120\, e2304294120 (2023)\n[ 3] Zache et al.\, Quantum 7\, 1140 (2023)\n[4] Zache et al.\, PRL 131\, 17 1902 (2023)\n \;\nMeeting ID: 880 1922 5193\nPasscode: 27687 DTSTAMP:20260916T172313Z END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
