Abstract
We propose a quantum algorithm for computing the n-gluon maximally helicity violating (MHV) tree-level scattering amplitude. We revisit a newly proposed method for unitarisation of non-unitary operations and present how this implementation can be used to create quantum gates responsible for the color and kinematic factors of the gluon scattering amplitude. As a proof-of-concept, we detail the full conceptual algorithm that yields the squared amplitude and implement the corresponding building blocks on simulated noiseless quantum circuits for n = 4 to analyze its performance. The algorithm is found to perform well with parameter optimizations, suggesting it to be a good candidate for implementing on quantum computers also for higher multiplicities.
