I am a theoretical physicist specialising in particle physics, with a focus on high-energy phenomena at hadron colliders and the computation of higher-order corrections. My research also explores cutting-edge computational techniques, including quantum computing, machine learning, and GPU acceleration.

Quantum computers are expected to give major speed-ups for the simulation of quantum systems. In this work, we present quantum gates that simulate the colour part of the interactions of quarks and gluons in perturbative quantum chromodynamics (QCD). As a first application, we implement these circuits on a simulated noiseless quantum computer and use them to calculate colour factors for various examples of Feynman diagrams. This work constitutes a first key step towards a quantum simulation of generic scattering processes in perturbative QCD.
