    Fermion-doubling problem in Chiral discretizations of Quantum field theory: Definitive proof, Fixing, and Computation of two-point correlation function

    Dogukan Bakircioglu🇫🇷 · Pablo Arnault🇫🇷

    We give the definitive proof that the Dirac Quantum Cellular Automaton (QCA) used for both quantum simulation and algorithmic foundations of Quantum Field Theory (QFT), and especially of Quantum Electrodynamics (QED), as put forward in References https://doi.org/10.1007/s11128-019-2555-4 and https://doi.org/10.22331/q-2023-11-08-1179, does exhibit Fermion Doubling (FD), albeit thrice as less severe as discrete-time standard Lattice Gauge Theories (LGTs) [arXiv:2505.0790], which are naive regarding the spacetime discretization of differential operators acting on fermionic fields. The proof is done for the (1 + 1)D Dirac-QCA model. We show that the (one-time-step) two-point correlation function, also called Green's function (GF), of the Dirac QCA, is of astonishing simplicity, which is in contrast with the GF of the Dirac equation. We also compare, both qualitatively and quantitatively, this Dirac QCA to the continuous-time-LGT spatial discretization of Dirac fermions regarding how well these two lattice models approximate their naive continuum limitwhich is nothing but the Dirac equationeven when far away from that limit, a situation which must be considered because of experimental limitations in quantum simulation: the Dirac QCA is better for ultrarelativistic regimes, whereas continuous-time LGT is better for non-relativistic regimes. Then, we compute the GF of the FD-fixed model put forward in the last cited reference, called Flavored Dirac QCA (FDQCA)which staggers an extra, artificial flavor , on a diamond spacetime lattice, and does not stagger chirality as staggered fermions in usual LGT. The structure of this FDQCA two-point correlation function is of extreme simplicity, and can be expressed in a very simple manner in terms of the four chiral components of the FD-suffering, original-model GF.

    LQCDMaster: Agentic Scientific Computing for Lattice Quantum Chromodynamics Research

    Haofei Gao🇨🇳 · Tingjia Miao🇨🇳 · Wenkai Jin🇨🇳 · Muhua Zhang🇨🇳 · Hanzhang Wang🇨🇳 · Jie Ran🇨🇳 · Jinxin Tan🇨🇳 · Zhentao Zhang🇨🇳 · Bo Tang🇨🇳 · Leiyi Li🇨🇳 · Jun Hua🇨🇳 · Xiangyu Jiang🇺🇸 and 3 other authors

    Lattice quantum chromodynamics (LQCD) provides a first-principles framework for computing hadronic observables, but its practical use remains limited by the substantial expertise required to turn research motivation into reliable computing workflows. Here we present \textsc{LQCDMaster}, a tool-augmented, skill-guided and domain-specialized scientific computing agent that converts natural-language LQCD research tasks into executable PyQUDA computing workflows, including measurement scripts, job-submission artifacts, execution logs and numerical outputs. The system combines agentic planning, expert-annotated LQCD skills and a deterministic Wick-contraction tool to constrain the algebraically fragile components of code generation. We evaluate \textsc{LQCDMaster} on a benchmark at the forefront of scientific research, comprising 70 LQCD computing tasks, with observables covering local and nonlocal two-point functions, Wilson loops, meson and baryon three-point functions. The generated workflows exactly reproduce expert-written implementations in 63 of 70 tasks at machine precision, with three additional discrepancies attributable to convention mismatches. Across representative observables, the agent reduces implementation time from hours to minutes while preserving end-to-end numerical validation. Further, we present a typical case of \textsc{LQCDMaster}-driven exploration: a lattice computation of light-cone distribution amplitudes with diagonal Wilson-line, a quantity accessible with standard methods but never before computed, and computation of the spectrum of proton, deuteron, triton, hyperon, hyperdeuteron and hypertriton. This work pioneers the paradigm of agentic scientific computing by automating the end-to-end scientific computing workflows in lattice QCD research, lowering its barrier and facilitating the exploration and verification of non-standard scientific ideas.

    Benchmarking quantum simulation at scale

    Jeremy Hartse🇺🇸 · Mohsin Raza🇺🇸 · Shravan Shravan🇺🇸 · Ivan H. Deutsch🇺🇸 · Niklas Mueller🇺🇸

    The applications for which quantum computers will clearly outperform classical computers are still being identified and benchmarking such an advantage is challenging. We propose a scalable verification scheme for non-equilibrium quantum simulation based on stabilizer scars, a special class of quantum many-body scars, whose structure ensures both classical simulability and efficient direct fidelity estimation. Assuming a physically motivated error model, we show that the fidelity of quantum simulating these states bounds the fidelity of classically intractable simulations, providing a benchmark for quantum-advantage experiments in non-equilibrium dynamics.

    Binary Gauss Stabilizers for Abelian Lattice Gauge Theories

    Matteo Turco🇵🇹 · Luca Spagnoli🇮🇹 · Alessandro Roggero🇮🇹

    Gauge theories and quantum error-correcting codes share the same underlying structure: both use constraints to identify a specific subspace of the full Hilbert space. In quantum error correction, these constraints are known as stabilizers, while in gauge theories they correspond to Gauss law. In this work, we consider a family of discrete Abelian lattice gauge theories described by a gauge group with an arbitrary power of two. In this setting, we find a set of stabilizers for the gauge-invariant subspace which is an alternative to the Gauss operators, and we call them binary Gauss stabilizers. We use this alternative stabilizer group to build practical error-correcting codes exploiting the gauge symmetries of the system without the addition of extra qubits. The applications of our finding are not limited to error correction though. We also provide a new strategy of gauge fixing to remove the redundancies based on our alternative stabilizer, which might provide advantages with respect to already-existing approaches such as the axial gauge. Our results provide new tools to study lattice gauge theories and their quantum simulation, and opens directions for future work at the interface of lattice gauge theory and quantum information.

    Radiative corrections in neutral-current (anti)neutrino elastic scattering at energies I: Nucleon targets

    Yi Chen🇨🇳 · Oleksandr Tomalak🇨🇳 · Bing-Song Zou🇨🇳

    We introduce radiative corrections in neutral-current (anti)neutrino-nucleon elastic scattering at energies within the effective field theory framework. We factorize cross sections into soft and hard functions, clarify the (anti)neutrino flavor dependence at both amplitude and cross-section levels, and improve the quantum chromodynamics (QCD) contributions to low-energy neutral-current processes. The radiative corrections at the single-nucleon level reach a magnitude comparable to the contributions from strange quarks. We also compare our results with the experimental data from BNL E734 and MiniBooNE collaborations, finding excellent agreements with the experimental data.

    On the origin of finite entanglement scaling

    Luke Hodgkiss🇬🇧 · Laurens Lootens🇬🇧 · Atsushi Ueda🇧🇪 · Bram Vanhecke🇧🇪 · Frank Verstraete🇬🇧

    The concept of finite entanglement scaling forms one of the pillars on which the tensor network ecosystem is built. In this paper, we resolve the open problem of determining the actual perturbations induced by matrix product state approximations of critical systems, and we demonstrate that these can be quite different than the ones predicted by conformal field theory. To that aim, we develop a sparse linear solver to calculate the forward and backward derivatives of 2-dimensional tensor networks with respect to their defining parameters in an implicit way. This algorithm is of independent interest as it provides a primitive for the variational optimization of projected entangled pair states that circumvents the instabilities plaguing traditional automatic differentiation methods.

    Next-to-next-to-leading order QCD corrections to pion (kaon)-induced exclusive Drell-Yan process

    Yu Jia🇨🇳 · Bernard Pire🇫🇷 · Qin-Tao Song🇨🇳 · Guang Tang🇨🇳 · Zhe-Yu Wang🇨🇳

    The high-energy pion and kaon beams proposed for future experiments at J-PARC offer a unique opportunity to investigate exclusive Drell-Yan processes induced by pions or kaons, which correspond to inverse deeply virtual meson production with . To facilitate precise comparisons between theoretical predictions and forthcoming experimental data, we calculate the next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) QCD corrections to the processes and . Our calculations are performed within the generalized parton distribution (GPD) factorization framework, accurate to leading twist in the generalized Bjorken limit (). We find that the NNLO QCD corrections are substantial and positive; therefore, their inclusion is imperative for reliable theoretical predictions in confrontation with future experiments.
