New Frontiers of Lattice Field Theory

Abstract
What are the fundamental constituents and fabric of the Universe and how do they interact? My research addresses these questions using the computational framework of lattice field theory. This approach replaces space and time by a finite lattice of discrete space-time points, simplifying the complicated calculations needed to predict physical phenomena. By using high-performance supercomputing to analyse lattices with more and more points closer and closer together, we obtain predictions for the continuous space and time in which we live.
Lattice field theory is best known for studies of the strong nuclear force that produces composite particles such as the proton and neutron. This project will apply the technique to three new frontiers, to address key scientific challenges and advance our understanding of the Universe.
The first frontier is to investigate whether the Higgs boson or the dark matter of the Universe may be composite particles, similar in certain ways to the neutron. This possibility could explain currently mysterious aspects of these particles. The predictions produced by my lattice field theory calculations will be tested by ongoing and future experiments including those at CERN's Large Hadron Collider. In addition, I will predict features of the gravitational waves that may be produced by composite dark matter, which future gravitational wave observatories will search for.
The second frontier involves investigations of supersymmetry, a hypothetical extension to the laws of Nature. A particularly important target for lattice supersymmetry is to test so-called holographic duality, which conjectures that these supersymmetric systems secretly describe the behaviour of string theories of quantum gravity. I will test this by computing the thermodynamics of supersymmetry, which holographic duality claims should match the behaviour of black holes in string theory.
Finally I will address an issue known as the sign problem, which currently obstructs lattice investigations of many different physical systems from neutron stars to superconductors. The sign problem arises when the algorithms used by numerical lattice computations encounter negative numbers where they expect probabilities (between 0% and 100%). In addition to developing and testing new algorithms that may solve the sign problem in certain systems, I will also apply quantum computing as a particularly novel approach to the sign problem. Quantum computing is a potentially revolutionary emerging technology, motivated by the fact that Nature does not have any difficulty realising many of the physical systems in question thanks to the quantum methods that it employs.
These investigations of elementary particles, their interactions, and their holographic connections to quantum gravity are fascinating both for scientists and the general public. The interplay with experiments at the Large Hadron Collider and gravitational wave observatories adds to the excitement, as does the role of advanced computing, algorithmic breakthroughs and the key emerging technology of quantum computing.

Planned Impact
By working at the interface between computational science and fundamental physics, the project will positively impact both the UK economy and public, in addition to benefiting the academic and industrial researchers discussed separately. In particular, engagement with the key emerging industry of quantum computing will contribute to the development of new potentially transformative technology. The project also includes a programme of public engagement, to share in non-technical terms the main open problems in the field and ways to solve them. The University of Liverpool provides important vehicles for impact acceleration in both of these areas, including industrial partnerships and a new specialist Mathematics School set to open in September 2020.
Potential industrial and commercial beneficiaries of this project include enterprises in the high-tech and computing sectors. I have trained two PhD students in software skills that they are now using as data scientists, and five of my present and past coworkers and collaborators are employed by Nvidia and IBM, demonstrating that I am contributing to an effective people pipeline between academia and industry. The University of Liverpool's partnerships with IBM Research and other firms will be exploited to spread the impact of the project beyond academia. The role of quantum computing in the project also provides the potential to impact this key emerging industry, in particular by providing test cases for apparatus that are currently being constructed. Companies involved in this area are engaged in a period of energetic expansion, predicting that this emerging technology will become mainstream within a matter of years.
Abiding popular interest in quantum physics and the fundamental properties of Nature motivates engagement with the general public to showcase my work in non-technical language. These activities will be coordinated with the Outreach Team in the Department of Mathematical Sciences. Specific undertakings will include a public engagement talk on quantum computing at an Ignite Liverpool showcase, in addition to activities contributed to the University of Liverpool Mathematics School. The latter will aim to benefit pupils across the Liverpool region and the North West with a focus on vulnerable and under-represented groups as well as areas of low take-up and poor attainment.
The openness of the research will be an important factor in ensuring its impact. In addition to open-access publication of research results, software developed for the project will be released under open-source free software licenses to encourage its reuse and adaptation around the world. The data and analysis workflows needed to ensure reproducibility will be made publicly available and thoroughly documented. These steps towards transparent open science will enhance the reliability and trustworthiness of the research, and hence its impact.

| Description | Good progress continues to be made reaching many milestones in this project, despite the disruptions caused by the pandemic. In particular, objective BSM1 has been achieved with the publication of my determination of the range of masses for which a realization of composite dark matter would produce gravitational waves to be searched for by upcoming gravitational wave observatories that are being constructed. This publication was accompanied by an open data release including the bulk of the data analysis workflow, advancing open science in the UK and enabling independent reuse and reanalysis of our data. My finding that gravitational waves are only produced for relatively large masses is important information influencing the interpretation the observations of those future observatories, and guides the ongoing work investigating the latent heat of the transition and the bubble nucleation rate for objective BSM2. Preliminary results have been presented at annual international Lattice conferences hosted online by MIT and in person at the University of Bonn, Germany. This work has also led to ongoing exchanges with effective field theory communities seeking to make use of our non-perturbative results as inputs to their analyses. At the same time, a separate publication on near-conformal composite Higgs models based on ten-flavour field theories investigated using domain-wall lattice fermions addressed objectives BSM3 and BSM4, with further insight into near-conformal dynamics coming from completed studies of two-particle scattering in eight-flavour field theories and ongoing investigations of the same processes in the ten-flavour case mentioned above. Upcoming work will analyze precision electroweak observables for the eight-flavour theory. Work on lattice supersymmetry is also advancing well, with objective SUSY1 achieved through the publication of results on the thermodynamics of maximally supersymmetric Yang--Mills theory in (2+1) space-time dimensions, again accompanied by an open data release. Work is now underway to introduce additional super-multiplets into these supersymmetric lattice field theories (objective SUSY2, presented at both the MIT and Bonn Lattice conferences), while a recent publication (and presentation at the Bonn Lattice conference) addresses more general issues of potential lattice discretization artifacts and their behaviour upon approaching the continuum limit. At the same time, preliminary results investigating phase transitions in a lower-dimensional supersymmetric lattice system were presented at the MIT Lattice conference, and are currently being finalized for peer-reviewed publication and open data release. All of these investigations deal with maximally supersymmetric Yang--Mills theories all find consistency with conjectured holographic dualities relating these systems to quantum gravity. However, ongoing studies of a lower-dimensional lattice system with less supersymmetry (presented at both the MIT and Bonn Lattice conferences, and soon to be finalized for publication) find qualitatively different behaviour, exposing the limitations of holographic dualities as least as presently formulated. Finally, the quantum computing frontier has also made progress, with ongoing analyses of lower-dimensional supersymmetric systems related to objectives SIGN2 and SIGN3 presented at both the MIT and Bonn Lattice conferences, leading to useful exchanges with several external researchers interested in this topic. Objective SIGN1 has also been reformulated to reflect advances in the general area of research, and is currently focusing on avoiding super-critical slowing down through density of states methods rather than canonical clusters. That said, the planned work in this area has suffered the most due to disruptions resulting from the Covid-19 pandemic. In particular, these have scuppered the planned extended visit to an industrial partner, complicated the process of developing connections with industrial partners more generally, and even delayed the start of the post-doctoral researcher funded to work on this aspect of the award, which has been addressed through a five-month no-cost extension. Even so, further achievements include my continued contributions to the leadership of consortia and networks researching quantum computing and quantum simulation, and coordinating with IBM Research through their joint study agreement with the University of Liverpool, which was recently extended until 2024. The good progress in all three frontiers has been recognized by UKRI through the approval of a renewal award, which will continue supporting this research for three additional years, beginning in a little over six months. |
| Exploitation Route | As mentioned above, the outcome predicting the dependence of the gravitational wave spectrum on the mass of composite dark matter particles is important information to be taken forward and used to interpret data from future gravitational wave observatories. This has also brought in others with expertise in effective field theories, to take forward our predictions as input to their analyses. Similarly, the outcome analyzing phase transitions non-perturbative lattice studies of supersymmetric field theories may be taken forward by others to improve our understanding of the conjectured holographic dualities that relate these phenomena to theories of quantum gravity, and the potential limitations of these dualities. Finally, the outcome developing connections to the quantum computing and quantum simulation landscape in the UK will be taken forward to provide research contributions revealing how best to develop quantum devices and technologies so that they may be put to use to produce knowledge about fundamental physics, one of the central applications of quantum technology in the near-term NISQ (noisy, intermediate-scale quantum) era. |

| Description | My findings have fed into a variety of ongoing impacts beyond academia. To contribute to societal interest in current understanding of the universe, I engaged with an event series called Ignite Liverpool to share the current state of knowledge about dark matter with interested members of the public. I similarly engaged with regional education by designing a summer project related to dark matter and machine learning for A-level students at the recently opened University of Liverpool Maths School. On the industrial and economic side, my research activities have been shared with IBM Research and the new Hartree National Centre for Digital Innovation through the framework of a recently extended Joint Study Agreement between IBM and the University of Liverpool. I have also helped to recruit industrial partners (including IBM) for the new 'Liv.Inno' Centre for Doctoral Training on Innovation in Data Intensive Science, and proposed a Quantum Innovation Placement for the STFC DiRAC facility to share with its own industrial partners. |

| PI Contribution | Lattice Field Theory at the Exascale Frontier (EXALAT) was a partnership funded by the EPSRC-led Exascale Computing ALgorithms & Infrastructures Benefiting UK Research (ExCALIBUR) programme. It aimed to ensure that the lattice field theory community will be prepared to maximize the scientific impact of pre-exascale and exascale systems in the 2020s, in part by sharing best practices with other computational communities. As a project partner, I contributed a letter of support to the funding proposal that created the partnership in April 2020, focused on ensuring that the project produces flexible solutions that will benefit the full range of lattice field theory research and high-performance computing more generally.

| PI Contribution | Lattice Field Theory at the Exascale Frontier (EXALAT) was a partnership funded by the EPSRC-led Exascale Computing ALgorithms & Infrastructures Benefiting UK Research (ExCALIBUR) programme. It aimed to ensure that the lattice field theory community will be prepared to maximize the scientific impact of pre-exascale and exascale systems in the 2020s, in part by sharing best practices with other computational communities. As a project partner, I contributed a letter of support to the funding proposal that created the partnership in April 2020, focused on ensuring that the project produces flexible solutions that will benefit the full range of lattice field theory research and high-performance computing more generally. I subsequently contributed to organizational meetings on data curation, benchmarking, and algorithm design. In addition, the award-funded PDRA participated an EXALAT school, on executable binaries. |

I was the PI of the Liverpool portion of the proposal, leader of work package 3 on lattice code development, and contributed to drafting the full proposal and planning the research programme that would have been pursued had the proposal been funded. While the resulting bid was unsuccessful, the partnership may be revived for similar work in coming years. |
| Collaborator Contribution | The main ExaTEPP proposal was developed at the University of Edinburgh, with contributions from six work package leaders. In addition to myself as leader of work package 3, the other work package leaders were based at the Edinburgh Parallel Computing Centre, Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, U.

| Collaborator Contribution | The main ExaTEPP proposal was developed at the University of Edinburgh, with contributions from six work package leaders. In addition to myself as leader of work package 3, the other work package leaders were based at the Edinburgh Parallel Computing Centre, Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, U. Warwick, Swansea U. and Imperial College London. |
| Impact | This multi-disciplinary partnership submitted the unsuccessful funding proposal, "ExaTEPP: Theoretical and Experimental Particle Physics at the Exascale Frontier" to the EPSRC High Priority Use Case for exascale computing software programme. As mentioned above, the partnership brought together various disciplines including theoretical and experimental particle physics, along with participation of computational scientists and research software engineers. |

| PI Contribution | This consortium was formed in response to a joint EPSRC--STFC call for proposals on Quantum Technologies for Fundamental Physics (QTFP), bringing together an interdisciplinary team of academic researchers expert in fields ranging from quantum field theory to materials science and quantum devices. I was one of the leaders of this effort, contributing specifically to the quantum field theory workpackages as well as recruiting other partners to the consortium. After our QTFP bid was unsuccessful, we continued collaborating into 2021, pausing the partnership after an unsuccessful effort to bid for a Leverhulme Research Centre (LRC). |
| Collaborator Contribution | The other partners in this consortium include the leaders of the materials science and quantum devices workpackages, in addition to other experts on quantum field theory. A senior materials scientist at the University of Warwick served as PI for both the QTFP proposal and LRC bid. |
| Impact | This multi-disciplinary consortium submitted the unsuccessful funding proposal, "Quantum simulators as disruptive paradigm in quantum fields and materials discovery" to the EPSRC--STFC Quantum Technologies for Fundamental Physics programme. Disciplines represented in the consortium include experimental quantum science and engineering in addition to mathematics, theoretical condensed-matter physics and theoretical particle physics. |
