Abstract

One of the ultimate missions of lattice QCD is to simulate atomic nuclei from the first principle of the strong interaction. This is an extremely hard task for the current computational technology, but might be reachable in coming quantum computing era. In this paper, we discuss the computational complexities of classical and quantum simulations of lattice QCD. It is shown that the quantum simulation scales better as a function of a nucleon number and thus will outperform for large nuclei.
