High-energy physics is facing challenges, such as understanding the origin of observed baryon asymmetry and the nature of dark matter. Scenarios to address these challenges often involve dynamics that, at present, cannot be solved due to computational or theoretical limitations. To overcome this hurdle, real-time simulation with quantum computers offers an elegant solution. In my talk, I will discuss the critical need for real-time simulation in new physics searches. I will also discuss existing challenges and theoretical developments involved in formulating quantum field theory on a quantum computer and extracting physical quantities from it in the continuum limit. Additionally, I will briefly talk about recent developments in quantum machine learning techniques used for HEP data analysis.
