Axial Gauge Removed One Constraint From Quantum QCD
A lattice construction solves the temporal gauge field analytically and derives polynomial resource scaling for real-time SU(3) simulation.
Summary
A lattice construction solves the temporal gauge field analytically and derives polynomial resource scaling for real-time SU(3) simulation.
The proposal represents independent gauge fields in a local basis, uses local quantum Fourier transforms for conjugate momentum and avoids maintaining Gauss’s-law constraints during Trotterized evolution by working in axial gauge. The paper bounds qubit requirements for states below a chosen energy and derives per-step gate scaling of order nA to the fourth times volume to the four-thirds, plus volume to the five-thirds for up to six fermion flavors. This is an algorithmic resource analysis, not a demonstration on hardware capable of useful quantum chromodynamics.
