Abstract
Abstract We present a quantum algorithm for digital quantum simulation of the Z2 gauge-Higgs model on a 3 × 3 lattice, which is based on Trotter decomposition, the quantum adiabatic algorithm and its circuit realization. Then we perform a classical demonstration, dubbed a pseudoquantum simulation, on a GPU simulator. We obtain useful results on this model, which suggest the topological properties of the deconfined phase and help to clarify the phase diagram. It is suggested that the tricitical point, where the second-order critical lines of deconfinement-confinement transition and of deconfinement-Higgs transition meet, seems to be on the the first-order critical line of confinement-Higgs transition, at a point other than the end of this critical line.
