Jianmu-Q: Bridging Quantum Field Theory and Quantum Hardware with AI Agents

Abstract:Quantum computing offers a promising approach to non-perturbative simulations of quantum field theories, particularly for real-time dynamics and systems affected by the sign problem. Yet translating continuum field theories into quantum computations remains a challenging interdisciplinary task. Here we introduce \texttt{Jianmu-Q}, a multi-agent framework that transforms natural-language descriptions of quantum field theories into quantum simulation workflows. Specialized agents handle theoretical formulation, lattice discretization, qubit mapping, and circuit design, while physical consistency checks and independent numerical calculations provide validation throughout the workflow. We benchmark the framework on three field theories of increasing complexity: the $(1+1)$-dimensional Nambu--Jona-Lasinio and Schwinger models, and a $(2+1)$-dimensional $\mathbb{Z}_2$ gauge theory. Across these systems, noiseless quantum-circuit simulations converge toward independent exact-diagonalization and tensor-network results, while selected circuits are executed on IBM quantum hardware, demonstrating an end-to-end, validation-guided approach to quantum simulation of field theories.
