Abstract

We test a possible digitization of SU(2)\mathrm{SU}(2) lattice gauge theories based on partitionings of the sphere S3S_3. In our construction the link operators are unitary and diagonal, with eigenvalues determined by the vertices of the partitioning. The canonical momenta are finite difference operators approximating the Lie derivatives on the manifold. In this formalism we implement the standard Wilson Hamiltonian. We show results for a 2-site Schwinger-type model in 1D and a single-plaquette system in 2D. Our calculations are performed on a classical computer, though in principle they can be implemented also on a quantum device.
