Abstract
QCD is the accepted theory of the strongly interacting particles known as hadrons. The non-perturbative nature of this theory makes the study of hadronic systems a rather challenging task. By taking the theory into a finite and discrete space-time grid with imaginary time, one can study hadronic reactions through the tool known as Lattice QCD. However, these conditions limit the energy range where physical observables can be recovered from Lattice QCD. Emerging frameworks like Quantum Computing and Tensor Networks could allow for a non-perturbative approach to field theories like QCD while preserving real-time dynamics. Adopting these frameworks could lead to the study of hadronic reactions inclusively across all energy ranges. In this work, we have constrained the order of physical volumes necessary to recover physical observables from well-defined estimators that can be constructed via finite Minkowski correlation functions.
