We present a systematic quantum algorithm, which integrates both the hadronic state preparation and the evaluation of real-time light-front correlators, to study parton distribution functions (PDFs). As a proof of concept, we demonstrate the first direct simulation of the PDFs in the 1+1 dimensional Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model. We show the results obtained by exact diagonalization and by quantum computation using classical hardware. The agreement between these two distinct methods and the qualitative consistency with QCD PDFs validate the proposed quantum algorithm. Our work suggests the encouraging prospects of calculating QCD PDFs on current and near-term quantum devices. The presented quantum algorithm is expected to have many applications in high energy particle and nuclear physics.

  7. Toward selective quantum advantage in hadronic tomography:explicit cases from Compton form factors, GPDs, TMDs, and GTMDs

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Quantum advantage in hadronic tomography should be evaluated selectively for CFFs, GPDs, TMDs, and GTMDs because their light-front and real-time correlation functions create ill-posed inverse problems that quantum alg...
