Triangle Nuclear Theory Colloquium - Elastic and Inelastic Scattering on a Quantum Computer

March 26, -
Speaker(s): Gautam Rupak
Scattering experiments are fundamental to understanding the
microscopic structure of quantum objects. Scattering is a real-time
process. However, realistic quantum many-body calculations on classical
computers are usually limited to imaginary times. An algorithm for the
real-time calculation of radiative, and in general inelastic processes such
as charge exchange reactions, on a quantum computer is presented. We
demonstrate the feasibility of the method by calculating the radiative E1
transition matrix element in a simple system on a quantum processor.

NOTE: Light Refreshments will be served at 3:00 PM.
Results for 2-particle elastic scattering amplitudes are also presented.
