The critical behaviour of Ising spins on 2D Regge lattices

Abstract

We performed a high statistics simulation of Ising spins coupled to 2D quantum gravity on toroidal geometries. The tori were triangulated using the Regge calculus approach and contained up to $512^2$ vertices. We used a constant area ensemble with an added $R^2$ interaction term, employing the $dl/l$ measure. We find clear evidence that the critical exponents of the Ising phase transition are consistent with the static critical exponents and do not depend on the coupling strength of the $R^2$ interaction term. We definitively can exclude for this type of model a behaviour as predicted by Boulatov and Kazakov [Phys. Lett. {\bf B186}, 379 (1987)] for Ising spins coupled to dynamically triangulated surfaces.

Efficient Quantum Simulations of Yang-Mills theory with Maximal-tree Gauge

We develop a quantum algorithmic framework for the efficient simulation of Yang--Mills theories, including the $\mathrm{SU}(3)$ gauge theory in Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD). The framework uses maximal-tree gauge in terms of gauge field variables that removes all local gauge redundancies. In the resulting gauge-fixed formulation and digitization in the field-amplitude basis, we show that Hamiltonian time evolution admits an efficient implementation based on quantum singular value transformation (QSVT). We derive upper bounds on the total number of qubits and gate complexity, finding polynomial scaling with the inverse simulation precision $1/\varepsilon_s$, lattice volume $\mathcal{V}$, gauge coupling $g$, and target energy scale $E$. Our results provide a rigorous complexity-theoretic demonstration that non-Abelian Yang--Mills theories can be simulated efficiently on quantum computers, paving the way toward first-principles quantum simulations of non-perturbative QCD dynamics.

Accurate Sampling from Diffusion Models

A new proposal called DM-SMC (Diffusion Model - Sequential Monte Carlo) is investigated, which samples ensembles defined in terms of an action, using diffusion models trained on samples from the ensemble. The SMC setup allows for accurate sampling in spite of an approximate diffusion model and the finite stepsize used in the numerical solution of the stochastic process. Improved update strategies are also investigated. Results are presented for a $Z_2$ symmetric scalar field theory in 2 dimensions near its 2nd order phase transition.

Decomposition of the axial-vector current in a finite box

We consider the matrix element of the axial-vector current between two nucleon states in a finite box. Starting from the chiral Lagrangian density with nucleon and Delta-isobar degrees of freedom, we study the finite-volume effects at the one-loop level. We show that the standard decomposition into the axial-vector and pseudoscalar form factor is incomplete in a finite box. We derive expressions for the complete set of in-box form factors at one loop, and demonstrate how to extract the full set from lattice correlation functions. We verify that the axial Ward identity holds in the chiral limit. We derive the one-loop expressions for the pseudoscalar form factor and verify that the in-box axial Ward identity away from the chiral limit is fulfilled also. Selected numerical results are shown for two flavor-SU(2) lattice ensembles. Sizable finite-volume effects are observed, with an important role for the Delta-isobar. We discuss the implications of our results for lattice studies of the axial-vector current. We conclude that full finite-box results are crucial for a precise determination of the form factors.
