Implementation and analysis of quantum computing application to Higgs boson reconstruction at the large Hadron Collider

Abstract With the advent of the High-Luminosity Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC) era, high energy physics (HEP) event selection will require new approaches to rapidly and accurately analyze vast databases. The current study addresses the enormity of HEP databases in an unprecedented manner—a quantum s...
