Abstract: While universal quantum computation is essential in the quest to simulate Standard Model physics, the near-term devices that define the NISQ era, without high-fidelity qubits and error correction, will be challenged to provide results that can be quantitatively compared with experiment. Much of the current research in this area is performed on gate-based quantum computers, and the alternative, adiabatic quantum computing, has not been explored with as much detail. We explore the potential of D-Wave’s quantum annealers for computing basic components required for quantum simulations of Standard Model physics. By implementing a basic multigrid (including “zooming”) and specializing Feynman-clock algorithms, D-Wave’s Advantage is used to study harmonic and anharmonic oscillators relevant for lattice scalar field theories and effective field theories, the time evolution of a single plaquette of SU(3) Yang-Mills lattice gauge field theory, and the dynamics of flavor entanglement in four neutrino systems.
