Title: Noise Improvements in Quantum Simulations of sQED using Qutrits

Abstract

We present an argument for the advantages of using qudits over qubits for scalar Quantum Electrodynamics in $(1+1)$d. We measure the mass gap using an out of time correlator as a function of noise coming from an amplitude damping error channel and a generalized Pauli channel decoherence channel for both qubits and qutrits. For the same error in determination of the mass, the qutrit simulations can tolerate 10 to 100x larger gate noise than a qubit simulations. We find that 20 per-cent accuracy on the mass gap could be possible in the near future with a qutrits but is infeasible using qubits.
