Quantum Simulation of Quantum Field Theory in the Light-Front Formulation

Understand

Quantum chromodynamics (QCD) describes the structure of hadrons such as the proton at a fundamental level.

• The precision of calculations in QCD limits the precision of the values of many physical parameters extracted from collider data.
• For example, uncertainty in the parton distribution function (PDF) is the dominant source of error in the $W$ mass measurement at the LHC.
• Improving the precision of such measurements is essential in the search for new physics.
