Collider Events on a Quantum Computer Scattering Simulations

Abstract

The study of quantum field theory (QFT) relies heavily on high-energy particle collisions, which shed light on how basic forces and particles act in very harsh environments. These collisions propel particles to energies beyond the detection limits of lower energy scales, allowing them to explore the most fundamental properties of matter. the impact of high-energy particle collisions on QFT, particularly in showing how these collisions test, improve, and expand QFT's predictions. To be more precise, we study how high-energy collisions challenge the predictions of the Standard Model, in particular for topics like particle generation, symmetry breaking and unification of forces. scientific discoveries, such as those made at particle accelerators like the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), which have confirmed theories like QCD in high-energy settings and offered proof of the Higgs boson, among other ideas. In addition, how high-energy collisions contribute to the investigation of QFT's boundaries, especially as they pertain to quantum gravity and the hunt for extra-standard model physics. We highlight the continued symbiotic relationship between high-energy particle collisions and quantum field theory by looking at both theoretical models and experimental data, and we speculate that future collisions may reveal more about the universe's basic mechanisms.
