3 [Int J Theor Phys (1982)] Simulating Physics with Computers Richard P. Feynman Department of Physics, California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, California Received May 7, INTRODUCTION On the program it says this is a keynote speech--and I don't know what a keynote speech is. I do not intend in any way to suggest what should be in this meeting as a keynote of the subjects or anything like that. I have my own things to say and to talk about and there's no implication that anybody needs to talk about the same thing or anything like it. So what I Now, what kind of physics are we going to imitate? First, I am going to describe the possibility of simulating physics in the classical approximation, a thing which is usuauy described by local differential equations. But the physical world is quantum mechanical, and therefore the proper problem is the simulation of quantum physics--which is what I really want to talk about, but I'U come to that later. So what kind of simulation do I mean? There is, of course, a kind of approximate simulation in which you design numerical algorithms for differential equations, and then use the computer to compute these algorithms and get an approximate view of what ph2csics ought to do. That's an interesting subject, but is not what I want to talk about. I want to talk about the possibility that there is to be an exact simulation, that the computer will do exactly the same as nature. If this is to be proved and the type of computer is as I've already explained, then it's

16 Concluding remarks. The most computationally costly part of the algorithm is either adiabatic state preparation or preparation of the free vacuum, depending on the asymptotic scaling considered and the number of spatial dimensions (33). Because a ~ e 1/2,preparationofthefree vacuum has complexity ~ V ~ a 2.376d ~ a good motivation for your next paper in analog q-sims ;)

We have shown that quantum computers can efficiently calculate scattering probabilities in f 4 theory to arbitrary precision at both weak and strong coupling. Known classical algorithms take exponential time to do this in the strong-coupling and high-precision regimes. In addition to establishing a new exponential quantum speedup, our results lead the way toward a quantum algorithm for simulating the Standard Model of particle physics, which has new features (not exhibited by f 4 theory) such as chiral fermions and gauge interactions. Such an algorithm would establish that, except for quantum-gravity effects, the standard quantum circuit model suffices to capture completely the computational power of our universe. Table 2.
