Applying it to the quantum simulation of quantum chromodynamics (QCD), the quark and gluon's wave functions evolved from the initial states by the interactions can be observed and the information from wave functions can be extracted at any discrete time. This may help us understand the natures of the hadronization which has been an outstanding question of significant implication on high energy phenomenological studies.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2018-10-22T12:35:00.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "digital quantum simulation", "yang-mills theory", "hadronization", "gluons wave functions", "high energy phenomenological studies" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 8, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
