Qu8its for quantum simulations of lattice quantum chromodynamics
Marc Illa, Caroline Robin, Martin J. Savage
Abstract
To adapt a SU(3) gauge theory on a quantum computer, the authors suggest using an eight level system, or qu8it, in order to match the number of generators. They find that this can speed up simulations by a factor of five.
