Description
One of the most anticipated applications of quantum information science is the simulation of complex systems. Those involving quarks and gluons are particularly compelling, as their real-time phenomenology remains elusive to computational techniques such as traditional Monte Carlo methods. Overcoming these challenges could provide unprecedented insights into the dynamics of partons.
In this context, we discuss the calculation of fragmentation functions, key to describe how quarks and gluons transform into observable hadrons. As we move along we introduce a series of strategies to face the problem using quantum computers, all grounded in a codification paradigm where particles and their internal degrees of freedom are the central objects.
