In recent years, quantum computational techniques have emerged as powerful tools for tackling fundamental challenges in lattice field theories and gauge theories, as well as in high-energy physics more broadly. These approaches offer novel methods for simulating quantum field theories, studying non-perturbative phenomena, and probing the foundations of quantum mechanics in collider experiments. As quantum hardware and algorithms continue to develop, their potential to revolutionize both theoretical and experimental physics is becoming increasingly clear.

This workshop will bring together a diverse group of academics from various sectors of fundamental physics, including lattice field theory, gauge theories, high-energy physics, and condensed matter physics, alongside experts in quantum algorithms and computer science. By fostering interdisciplinary collaboration, the workshop aims to consolidate expertise and establish a roadmap towards robust and reliable quantum computation for lattice field theories and gauge theories with applications to high-energy physics.

Through focused discussions and interactive sessions, participants will explore:

• state-of-the-art quantum techniques
• their implementation on near-term quantum hardware
• their role in advancing our understanding of fundamental physics.

The workshop will provide a platform for exchanging ideas, identifying key challenges, and shaping the future of quantum simulation in these fields.
