Particle Physics and Quantum Simulation Collide in New Proposal

Zohreh Davoudi is collaborating with experts in quantum computing technologies to ensure that the relevant problems in her fields of nuclear and particle physics are poised to reap the benefits when quantum simulations mature. Davoudi along with JQI Fellow Alexey Gorshkov and other colleagues proposed a quantum simulation that might be possible to implement soon. They proposal involves using superconducting circuits to simulate a simplified model of collisions between fundamental particles called quarks and mesons (which are themselves made of quarks and antiquarks).
