Maryland) as part of XXVI IFT Christmas Workshop\n\n\nAbstract\nA vibrant program has formed in recent years in v arious scientific disciplines to take advantage of near-term and future qu antum-simulation and quantum-computing hardware to study complex quantum m any-body systems\, building upon the vision of Richard Feynman for quantum simulation. Such activities have recently started in nuclear and particle physics\, hoping to bring new and powerful experimental and computational tools to eventually address a range of challenging problems in strongly i nteracting quantum field theories and nuclear many-body systems. In this t alk\, I first motivate the need for quantum simulation in nuclear physics by showcasing some of the state of the art in our classical simulations an d discussing the existing challenges to move ahead. I will then review a n umber of important developments in quantum simulation\, including proposal s for simulating strongly interacting field theories with the ultimate goa l of studying strong dynamics of quarks and gluons\, and of nucleons. Some of the requirements for hardware technologies that are expected to enable both the analog simulations and the digital quantum computations of these problems will be enumerated\, and an experiment-theory co-development pro gram will be motivated with an emphasis on trapped-ion platforms.\n LOCATION:https://researchseminars.org/talk/XmasIFT/7/ END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
