Description

Numerical simulations of quantum Hamiltonians can be done representing the degrees of freedom as matrices acting on a truncated Hilbert space. Here we present a formulation for the lattice $SU(2)$ gauge theory in the so called "magnetic basis", where the gauge links are unitary and diagonal. The latter are obtained from a direct discretization of the group manifold, while the canonical momenta are built using an orthogonal transform on $S_3$. We discuss general considerations on the contraints of the spectrum of the free theory and the continuum manifold limit.
