Abstract

We study lattice gauge theory with discrete, non-Abelian gauge groups. We extend the formalism of previous studies on D-Wave's quantum annealer as a computing platform to finite, simply reducible gauge groups. As an example, we use the dihedral group D_n with n=3,4 on a two plaquette ladder for which we provide proof-of-principle calculations of the ground-state and employ the known time evolution formalism with Feynman clock states.
