Abstract
We employ quantum variational methods to investigate a single-site interacting fermion-boson system -- an example of a minimal supersymmetric model that can exhibit spontaneous supersymmetry breaking. Our study addresses the challenges inherent in calculating mixed fermion-boson systems and explores the potential of quantum computing to advance their analysis. By using adaptive variational techniques, we identify optimal ansätze that scale efficiently, allowing for reliable identification of spontaneous supersymmetry breaking. This work lays a foundation for future quantum computing investigations of more complex and physically rich fermion-boson quantum field theories in higher dimensions.
