Description

The aim of this work is to constrain the neutron star equation of state (EoS). At the energy densities characteristic of neutron star cores, QCD is non-perturbative and the EoS is currently poorly constrained. Classical methods such as Lattice QCD present limitations when dealing with finite density systems. To address this challenge, we use Quantum Computing techniques to simulate the strongly interacting matter inside the star. We encode relevant QCD degrees of freedom into qubits, which are assigned to each particle in the system.
