5		-We will work on quantum simulation of real-time dynamics for high-energy physics problems using the tensor network and digital quantum computing approaches. We start with the Ising model to get familiarity with quantum simulation and then move on to more advanced real-time simulation of quantum field theory including lattice gauge theory relevant to topics in high-energy physics. Familiarity with quantum mechanics and programming are required. Background in quantum information science would be a plus but not necessary.
	5	+This project focuses on developing light-front wavefunctions (LFWFs) for meson bound states using a compact basis function representation. We adopt an implicit-Hamiltonian approach, encoding system dynamics in the functional form and tunable parameters of the LFWFs. The basis functions are eigenfunctions of an effective Hamiltonian with both longitudinal and transverse confining potentials, the latter inspired by light-front holographic QCD. Parameters and coefficients will be determined using insights from nonrelativistic descriptions and experimental decay widths. The resulting LFWFs have a simple analytic form, enabling predictions of observables such as charge radii and parton distribution functions. We will also use these wavefunctions to study meson production in diffractive deep inelastic scattering, ultra-peripheral heavy-ion collisions, and transition form factors.
