To date, all proposed quantum algorithms for simulating quantum field theory (QFT) simulate (continuous-time) Hamiltonian lattice QFT as a stepping stone. Two overlooked issues are how large we can take the timestep in these simulations…

In this paper, we consider the composition of two independent processes : one process corresponds to position and the other one to time. Such processes will be called iterated processes. We first propose an algorithm based on the Euler…

To obtain a well defined path integral one often employs discretizations. In the case of gravity and reparametrization invariant systems, the latter of which we consider here as a toy example, discretizations generically break…

We introduce configuration space path integrals for quantum fields interacting with classical fields. We show that this can be done consistently by proving that the dynamics are completely positive directly, without resorting to master…
