Fast algorithms for simulating chiral fermions in U(1)lattice gauge theory

Abstract

In order to develop fast inversion algorithms we have used overlap solvers in two dimensions. Lattice QED theory with U(1) group symmetry in two dimensional space-times dimensions has always been a testing ground for algorithms. By the other side, motivated by our previews work that the two-grid algorithm converge faster than the standard iterative methods for overlap inversion but not for all quark masses, we thought to test this idea in less dimensions such as U(1) gauge theory. Our main objective of this paper it is to implement and develop the idea of a two level algorithm in a new algorithm coded in QCDLAB. This implementation is presented in the preconditioned GMRESR algorithm, as our new contribution in QCDLAB package. The preconditioned part of our algorithm, different from the one of [18], is the approximation of the overlap operator with the truncated overlap operator with finite N3 dimension. We have tested it for 100 statistically independent configurations on 32 x 32 lattice background U(1) field at coupling constant \b{eta}=1 and for different bare quark masses mq = [0.5, 0.45, 0.4, 0.35, 0.3, 0.25, 0.2, 0.15, 0.1]. We have compared the convergence history of the preconditioned GMRESR residual norm with another overlap inverter of QCDLAB as an optimal one, such as SHUMR. We have shown that our algorithm converges faster than SHUMR for different quark masses. Also, we have demonstrated that it saves more time for light quarks compared to SHUMR algorithm. Our algorithm is approximately independent from the quark mass. This is a key result in simulations with chiral fermions in lattice theories. By the other side, if we compare the results of [18] for quark mass 0.1 in SU(3), results that our chosen preconditioned saves a factor of 2 but in U(1). Our next step is to test this algorithm in SU(3) and to adopt it in parallel.

When the center matters: color screening and gluelumps in dihedral lattice gauge theories

Confinement is one of the hallmarks of quantum chromodynamics (QCD), but its first-principles characterization remains elusive. We show that discrete non-Abelian lattice gauge theories (LGTs) with dihedral groups $D_N$ provide a minimal setup for characterizing the connection between confinement and the group center. When the latter is trivial (odd $N$), gluon clouds screen static charges, forming composite objects known as gluelumps. These are stable excitations of the theory, in contrast to their QCD analog. As a consequence, string breaking can occur through fluctuations of the electric field only, without pair nucleation from the vacuum. Our results showcase how the rich physics typically associated with QCD emerges in much simpler discrete non-Abelian LGTs, making them ideal settings to test this phenomenology both in numerical calculations and in near-term quantum devices.

Confining Flux Tube in the Trace Deformed (2+1) Dimensional SU(2) Gauge Theory

We study the confining flux tube in the reconfined phase of trace deformed SU(2) Yang-Mills theory in (2+1) dimensions. Using lattice simulations above the standard deconfinement temperature, we analyze Polyakov-loop correlators and extract the ground state energy of the effective string. We show that the usual Nambu-Goto effective string description, including its standard higher-order corrections, fails to reproduce the data as the trace deformation is increased. Remarkably, deep in the reconfined regime the results are instead accurately described by the Polchinski-Yang rigid-string solution, corresponding to an effective string dominated by an extrinsic-curvature term. We further investigate the transverse profile of the chromo-electric flux tube and find significant deviations from the standard Yang-Mills behavior, including a substantial modification of the intrinsic width. Finally, we present an exploratory study of the phase diagram, finding evidence for a transition from a continuous to a first order reconfinement line as the deformation parameter increases. These results suggest that the reconfined phase realizes a qualitatively different effective-string regime from ordinary confinement.

Quantum anomaly for benchmarking quantum computing

Given the rapid advances in quantum computing hardware, establishing strategies for verifying the correctness of quantum computations has become increasingly important. Exploiting the fact that the axial anomaly in gauge theories is exact to all orders in perturbation theory, we propose the axial anomaly as a nontrivial benchmark for quantum simulations of lattice gauge theories. We simulate axial charge production in ${\mathbb Z}_N$ lattice gauge theories on the trapped-ion quantum computer ``Reimei''. After taking the U(1), infinitesimal time, and infinite volume limits, we successfully reproduce the anomaly coefficient within statistical uncertainties, even without error mitigation. Our results demonstrate that the axial anomaly can be simulated on current quantum computers and serves as a verification test of quantum computations.
