This workshop aims to discuss and address challenges in hard probes, especially related to quantum mechanical aspects of these systems and how quantum computing could potentially provide tools to perform the needed computations. Inspired by the many recent developments in applying quantum optics and quantum information to quarkonium suppression and jet quenching, we foresee that studying hard probes in a hot medium would be one of the first problems in nuclear physics that could benefit from quantum technology.
We wish to discuss and address the following questions:
● What are the major theoretical and computational challenges in the study of quarkonium
suppression and jet quenching at the current stage?
● How could we use quantum computation technology, such as developing quantum algorithms and conducting quantum simulations, to help resolve those challenges?
● In particular, could we formulate the evolution of quarkonium or jets as open quantum systems in full generality? Could the master equations be computed using quantum computers?
