Quantum computing provides a promising framework for the simulation of quantum field theories, where the computational cost depends both on the quantum algorithm employed and on the representation of the Hamiltonian. We investigate a formulation of the $\phi^4$ model based on the harmonic-oscillator basis in coordinate space. We derive the lattice $\phi^4$ Hamiltonian in this representation and analyze the structure of the resulting one-body matrix and interaction tensor. We show that both exhibit an effective band-diagonal structure, allowing controlled truncations of the Hamiltonian while preserving the low-energy spectrum. We validate this formulation by comparing low-energy observables obtained from numerical diagonalization with those computed in the standard harmonic-oscillator momentum-space representation. Finally, we estimate the resources required to encode the Hamiltonian on a quantum computer using both binary and unary boson-to-qubit mappings. By exploiting effective locality, the coordinate-space representation reduces the resources required for quantum simulation over a broad range of parameters.
The 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.

A variational framework for investigating the finite-size Dicke model on both fully qubit-based (digital) and hybrid qubit boson based (digital-analogue) quantum computing platforms is developed and reproduces the characteristic critical behavior of the Dicke model in the appropriate large-spin limit.

Quantum simulations of gauge theories are typically built on spatial lattices, an approach that has enabled major progress at the cost of requiring fixed background geometries and obscuring the treatment of curved and dynamical spacetimes. Large-$N$ matrix models offer an alternative, encoding spacetime geometry and ga...

We present a recipe for simulating one-dimensional quantum systems for low and high energies with $L$ qubits within the framework of first quantisation. Assuming a minimum grid spacing $\Delta L$ in the finite-difference method, the generalised uncertainty principle (GUP) is derived analytically and shows distinct prop...

This work introduces a unified measure, the magic R\'enyi entropy (MRE), to quantify computational resources in spins, bosons, and fermions on an equal footing and shows that the MRE is a resource monotone under stabilizer and Gaussian protocols involving measurements and feedforward operations.
We present a formulation of quantum field theory based entirely on real numbers, which we call real quantum field theory (RQFT). The construction is obtained from the standard complex-number formulation by replacing the imaginary unit i with a matrix J throughout all formulas. Here J is the real 2x2 matrix satisfying t...
