Quantum Yang-Mills theory: An overview of a program

Abstract: We present an overview of a programme to understand the low-energy physics of quantum Yang-Mills theory from a quantum-information perspective. Our setting is that of the hamiltonian formulation of pure Yang-Mills theory in the temporal gauge on the lattice. Firstly, inspired by recent constructions for Z/2Z lattice gauge theory, in particular, Kitaev's toric code, we describe the gauge-invariant sector of hilbert space by introducing a primitive quantum gate: the quantum parallel transporter. We then develop … Show more

“…Firstly, we will discuss how to use the fusion basis to easily design multi-scale states. It is interesting to compare the tools developed here to the closely related philosophy underlying the introduction of tensor network states, which provide an Ansatz for the ground state of Yang-Mills theories [21]. 5 Secondly, using the muli-scale states, we describe a coarse-graining scheme based on the fusion basis.…”

“…We expect that this will help to design low-energy states for Yang-Mills (lattice) theory, by merging our tools with the techniques developed for this purpose in the context of tensor network states or MERA (multi-scale entanglement renormalization Ansatz, [63]), see [21] and also [64,65] for some recent developments.…”
