An efficient quantum algorithm for the many-body three-dimensional Dirac equation is presented. Its computational complexity is dominantly linear in the number of qubits used to spatially resolve the 4-spinor wave function.

We present an analysis of the Dirac equation when the spin symmetry is changed from SU(2) to the quaternion group, $Q_8$, achieved by multiplying one of the gamma matrices by the imaginary number, $i$. The reason for doing this is to…
