Digital quantum simulation of cosmological particle creation with IBM quantum computers
We will follow the toy model provided in Ref.22. The infinitesimal line element ds, whose coefficients determine the metric of the spacetime, in a Friedman–Lemaitre–Robertson–Walker universe is given by Refs.23,24,25,26,27,28,29: $$\begin{aligned} ds^2=dt^2-a^2(t)dx^2, \end{aligned}$$ (1) where a(t) is the scale factor, which only depends on time. We can make a change of variables to conformal time, … Read more
