This article details a novel application of signal processing concepts, specifically the Z-transform, to solve the fermion doubling problem in lattice quantum field theory. By reframing this long-standing simulation error as a sampling issue, the proposed finite impulse response operator achieves significantly higher accuracy in reproducing group velocity compared to traditional methods like Wilson operators. This advancement directly enhances the precision of quantum system simulations without compromising essential symmetries or incurring prohibitive computational costs.
North-West Team Reframes Fermion Doubling As Sampling Error

The FIR operator reproduces the continuum group velocity to within 0. 06% at p₀ = π/8 and 0. 03% at p₀ = 0.
A finite impulse response operator offers accurate representation of momentum on a discrete spacetime grid, according to Jan C Olivier and Etienne Barnard. The method avoids common problems associated with existing approaches and achieves highly accurate results; simulations show group velocity reproduction within 0.03% at specific momenta compared to sharply larger errors, up to 78%, from alternative methods like central difference and Wilson operators. The computational technique simulates quantum fields, addressing long-standing issues within current methods. It borrows…
