Simulating lattice gauge theories within quantum technologies (2019, methodology): “ dynamics of spontaneous particle-anti-particle pair creation has been studied. Such dynamical processes cannot be addressed with conventional Markov Chain Monte Carlo methods due to the sign problem [145] preventing the simulation of time evolutions. The experiment performed in [47, 140] realises a”

[6] and the technical review in refs. [7, 8]. More details can be found in Refs. [9, 10, 11]; thermal ﬁeld theory is covered in the books [12, 13]. 2.1 The Schwinger-Keldysh formali”
