We present a time-dependent quantum algorithm for nuclear inelastic scattering in the time-dependent basis function on qubits approach. This algorithm aims to quantum simulate a subset of the nuclear inelastic scattering problems that are of physical interest in which the internal degrees of freedom of the reaction system are excited by time-dependent external interactions. We expect that our algorithm will enable an exponential speedup in simulating the dynamics of the subset of the inelastic scattering problems, which would also be advantageous for the applications to more complicated scattering problems. For a demonstration problem, we solve for the Coulomb excitation of the deuteron, where the quantum simulations are performed with IBM Qiskit.

核非弹性散射的量子模拟

我们在量子位方法的时间相关基函数中提出了一种用于核非弹性散射的时间相关量子算法。该算法旨在对具有物理意义的核非弹性散射问题的子集进行量子模拟，其中反应系统的内部自由度由与时间相关的外部相互作用激发。我们期望我们的算法能够在模拟非弹性散射问题子集的动力学方面实现指数加速，这对于更复杂的散射问题的应用也将是有利的。对于演示问题，我们解决了氘核的库仑激发，其中使用 IBM Q iskit执行量子模拟。
