Description
Many aspects of QCD are currently inaccessible computationally due to sign problems. These can be evaded if sufficiently large reliable quantum computers are developed and these naturally use Hamiltonian formulations. A key problem in quantum computing is the need to prepare the state of interest. This talk will introduce the ideas behind the quantum zeon effect and the newly developed rodeo projection algorithm and show how they can be combined for an extremely efficient algorithm for state preparation on a quantum computer that should be suitable for producing the QCD vacuum (or finite density nuclear matter) at a computational cost that is power law in the volume of the system.
