Description

LUXE (Laser Und XFEL Experiment) is a proposed experiment at DESY and European XFEL in Hamburg aiming to study non-perturbative quantum electrodynamics (QED) in electron-laser and photon-laser collisions. One of the key measurements is the number of positrons produced via the non-linear Breit-Wheeler process, which can be as high as 70,000 at LUXE phase-0 and even higher at phase-1. A silicon pixel tracking detector with four layers and an active area of 54x1.5 cm2 per layer is used to measure the positrons. Precision tracking of positrons becomes very challenging for classical computers due to the high rates. In this poster, I will present the use of quantum algorithms for tracking in a high-density environment, and compare the track finding efficiency and fake rate with classical methods using Graph Neural Networks or a Combinatorial Kalman Filter.
