Quantum computing for quantum tunneling [PDF]
Physical Review D, 2021 We demonstrate how quantum field theory problems can be embedded on quantum annealers. The general method we use is a discretisation of the field theory problem into a general Ising model, with the continuous field values being encoded into Ising spin chains.
