Abstract：
High energy hadronic scatterings are essential tools to probe the fundamental partonic (quark and gluon) structure of nucleon/nucleus and are the only method in laboratory to test Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD), the strongest force in nature. However, due to the non-perturbative property of QCD in hadronic scale and the real time dynamics in high energy scatterings, it is extremely challenge to fully compute these processes either in perturbative QCD or via lattice QCD. Inspired by the great promise of quantum computers using their natural capability of simulating real-time evolutions, there has been a rapidly growing wave of interest in implementing quantum computing methodologies to particle and nuclear physics in recent years. In this talk, I will discuss recent progresses in using quantum computing to explore hadronic scatterings, including the direct calculation of initial state parton distribution functions in hadron, the intermediate state partonic scatterings, as well as the final state hadronization process.
