Description
Lattice studies of spontaneous supersymmetry breaking suffer from a sign problem that in principle can be evaded through novel methods enabled by quantum computing. I will present ongoing work exploring ways quantum computing could be used to study spontaneous supersymmetry breaking in lower-dimensional lattice systems including the (1+1)d N=1 Wess--Zumino model. A particularly promising recent development is to apply the variational quantum deflation algorithm, which generalizes the variational quantum eigensolver so as to resolve multiple low-energy states.
